The setting of MAIL_USE_FLOCK + *must agree* with the system's own conventions. + It is not a choice that is up to you. + + So, if your system uses lock files rather than flock, then the only way + you can get proper operation is to enable movemail to write lockfiles there. + This means you must either give that directory access modes + that permit everyone to write lockfiles in it, or you must make movemail + a setuid or setgid program. */ + /* * Modified January, 1986 by Michael R.
