Re: Mailbox locking on IRIX (Was: deleted mail files)

[Mate Wierdl]

    Now, I ran some tests indicating that at least one mail
   client (mailx) on an IRIX 6.2 box I have available, and it appears to
   use dotlocking and to ignore flock-style locks.

Is not it a problem too that he is delivering to symlinks?
   
   If course, with vanilla qmail, this strategy loses badly.

How can then mail be lost?
Thx
