Dear Tobias,
I submitted http://bugs.debian.org/684645 against liblockfile1.
But then I realized that liblockfile is fine and that the bug must be
within mail.local sources, so I re-assigned that bug to sendmail-bin.
Cheers, Paul

Dear Tobias,

And I guess that was the main issue, leading to file corruption.
Thanks for letting me know.

I wonder whether that bug is in sendmail-bi
Well, I don't know. I just saw that "Uses flock, not fcntl" is fixed.
You could retitle the bug or create a new one to track the order issue.
Best regards,
Tobias

Is it, really? The policy says:
... fcntl() locking must be combined with dot locking. To avoid
deadlocks, a program should use fcntl() first and dot locking after
this ...
whereas strace shows:
link("/var/mail/.lk10336dp63
fixed 648941 8.14.4-2.1
thanks
This is fixed in Wheezy.
Best regards,

Package: sendmail-bin
Version: 8.14.3-9.4
Severity: serious
File: /usr/lib/sm.bin/mail.local

Using strace I see that mail.local uses flock:
open("/var/mail/psz", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND) = 4
flock(4, LOCK_EX) = 0
(as well as a /var/mail/psz.lock fi
