        Where can I find information on this? I just grepped through the entire
manual for "lock", and I didn't find anything on this. 

[bmerh56e-msoulier-msoulier]$ cd /var
[bmerh56e-msoulier-var]$ ll -d mail
drwxrwxr-x   2 bin        mail          1024 Jul  5 14:32 mail/

        Ok, the directory is writable by mail...

        So, what's a "mutt_dotlock"?
