Hello,
I'm looking for the alternative of qmail's chmod -t (sticky bit on the
maildir root) for Dovecot. What I'm trying to achieve with this lock:
- Dovecot lmtp should give back a temporary error (so the email will be
deferred and re-delivered later)
- all other Dovecot daemons (pop, imap) sh

Currently Dovecot (and any other application, which cares about e-mail
