Upon using the new 'inc' command and closer examination of sendmail, then mail.local, it looks like "flock" locking is more appropriate (to match mail.local's behavior). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Apply patch to port: diff -urN ../nmh-curr/patches/patch-aa ./patches/patch-aa --- ../nmh-curr/patches/patch-aa Wed Dec 22 19:40:30 1999 +++ ./patches/patch-aa Fri Dec 24 13:50:32 1999 @@ -1,6 +1,18 @@ -diff -ur ../../nmh-1.0.2-DIST/acconfig.h ./acconfig.h ---- ../../nmh-1.0.2-DIST/acconfig.h Thu Oct 21 11:58:09 1999 -+++ ./acconfig.h Sat Dec 11 11:54:28 1999 +--- ../../../nmh-1.0.2-DIST/acconfig.h Thu Oct 21 11:58:09 1999 ++++ ./acconfig.h Fri Dec 24 13:50:12 1999 +@@ -22,10 +22,10 @@ + * other programs which may modify your maildrops. + * Currently you can only use one type. + */ +-#define DOT_LOCKING 1 ++/* #define DOT_LOCKING 1 */ + /* #define FCNTL_LOCKING 1 */ + /* #define LOCKF_LOCKING 1 */ +-/* #define FLOCK_LOCKING 1 */ ++#define FLOCK_LOCKING 1 + + /* + * If you have defined DOT_LOCKING, then the default is to @@ -104,7 +104,7 @@ * The prefix which is prepended to the name of messages when they * are "removed" by rmm.
