I'm not sure that is a problem. For one thing the only thing that is
taking place when the file is written is a new address is appended to
the end of the file. That can't take more than a few CPU cycles. The
chances of two processes hitting it at the exact same time is going to
be rare. Not to mention that if the entire file is not being
re-written, then it's simply the same thing as doing:
echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" >> confirmed.list
And that again only takes milliseconds to complete.
I don't think that is something that would present a problem.
