Re: locking rcvstore?

on some platforms, tought for those users, do it where you can. Don't forget to test on nfs-mounted filesystems too; I've had a few programs fail on nfs-mounts - StarOffice and ypbind amongst them. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note

boxes (non-compliant) 3) My procmail recipes didn't implement locking because I assumed nmh did. 4) nmh didn't lock anything, (and I think mh doesn't either). Lack of locking is a problem that needs to be fixed. I lost a few dozen emails over a couple of days. -- Cheers John Summerfield
