That's what I was afraid of. (i'll explain in greater detail

That was a given. I'm running qpopper 3.x on a Redhat 6.1 box with
Sendmail, and already knew about this config option.

Actually, I'm trying to replace my Sendmail box with a qmail box.
Mainly because of qmail's Maildir setup. But qmail-pop3d does not
support file locking like qpopper does. I'm trying to configure a
*very* unconventional setup that allows multiple clients to pop the
same mailbox. I like qpopper and was hoping that qpopper 4 would be
able to handle the qmail Maildir.
I guess I will have to wait for qpopper 5.
BTW, who do I talk to about adding to the next versions wish list, or
about doing some beta testing?
Thanks for all your input.
