I already had something like this implemented but removed the code again after I realized that it will possible cause problems with NFS. In the worst case we have multiple writers on the same file and the db ends up corrupted. The other method is more crash-proof but with the problem that concurrent deliveries may cause that some sender receive multiple replies. Also deliveries are not halted because of concurrent deliveries. -- :wq Claudio
