Does anyone know what style of locks /bin/mail uses when delivering mail to a mail folder in /var/spool/mail? Since the SunOS System and Network Administration manual specifically talks about exporting /var/spool/mail to client machines, I would expect that /bin/mail uses lockf style locks. What puzzles me is that the Elm mailer seems to work ok on our server (the machine on which /var/spool/mail actually resides) even though it uses flock style locking.
