See http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-workers/200110/msg00031.html For a more detailed treatment of a+/O_APPEND, I'd recommend Richard Stevens' _Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment_. > My concern is if two processes try to append to the file at the same > time. Don't be concerned, it's safe on any modern UNIX which follows the POSIX standard. What you don't want to do is hand edit the CONFIRM_APPEND file while qmail is running, since there is no locking going on between TMDA and your text editor. This is discussed more in the thread starting at http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-users/200204/msg00240.html. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
