Sorry. Misleading writing. I just want to suggest that the default locking for local mbox is FCNTL and not procmail lockfile. And policy supports that. About my assumption: Well, exim is the debian 'default' and eximconfig does not allow to switch from mbox to maildir. So kmails default /var/spool/mail if(!) a local mbox is added is a good one. About the assumption: People hacking exim.conf or the one explicitely chosing to use another MTA with a different local storage mechanism are also able to choose a looking method ;) Achim > > HS > > - -- > Mein GPG-Key ist auf meiner Homepage verfügbar: http://www.hendrik-sattler.de > oder über pgp.net > > PingoS - Linux-User helfen Schulen: http://www.pingos.schulnetz.org > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQE+NzYJzvr6q9zCwcERAqWCAKDAlR/PZBeB6qOznZ25bziH2FE9mwCgpaoR > 4EYKjLJ2bsbPUGclPyfFpCw= > =KWdW > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
