What happens when a user loses mail or has his/her mailbox trashed when there is a locking collision/race caused by dtmail and the local delivery agent using different locking methods? This is the real problem. Like many, I've been bitten by this when simply accessing a mailbox via nfs. It won't happen often, but it surely will. If dtmail is to be catered for, then we also need to resolve/fix our own source tree to handle whatever dtmail expects. If it is already compatible (and by the sound of it, it isn't), then I didn't post this. :-) Regards, David
