I recently installed nail (an open-source mime-compliant version of mail).
It expects /var/spool/mail to have 1777 permissions to allow
a dot-lock to be implemented. It seems that RedHat has disabled
dot-locking in mailx. Questions:
+ Does mailx use some other method to prevent interfering updates?
+ If I want to use nail, would I be better off disabling
locking or changing permissions on /var/spool/mail?
nail is available from
