I want to sort my incoming email using procmail and rcvstore; I've noticed
a number of things:
(1) rcvstore doesn't lock the .mh_sequences files, or anything else. This
should be pretty dangerous; the procmail man pages warn that bad things
can happen, since procmail doesn't lock mh folders. Nevertheless ...
(2) MAIL.FILTERING doesn't say anything about this problem, so maybe it's
theoretical rather than practical.
(3) It should be pretty easy to add .mh_sequences file locking. All you
should have to do is open the .mh_sequences file with a lkfopen rather
than an fopen (plus a few extra changes). Nevertheless ...
(4) Nobody has done it, despite it's having been in the TODO list for some
time. So maybe it's not as easy as it looks.
Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks:
