smtpd locks user mailboxes in /var/mail using lockspool(1)
uw-imapd locks using its own dotfile locker mlock(not the syscall)
Before I go into uw-imapd and do some nasty additions and
if()s:
does anyone else care?
does anyone else use uw-imap?
has anyone attacked this problem?
is there anywhere else to ask these questions?
switch(answers) {
*, *, *, yes: go there
no, *, *, no: go do ugly coding in the dark
*, *, yes, *: may I please see what you did?
yes, yes, no, *: please get in touch
default: go do ugly coding
}
I'm not interested in any other server unless it is
at least as lightweight as uw-imap. Courier, Cyrus,
etc. are obese by comparison.
thanks
