2nd question first - I am intentionally storing the mail in the /Maildir 
directory in the user's home directory.  I setup the server originally 
for Maildir format and then thought I'd try out dbox for fun.  Unless 
there's a problem with this...

I am NOT trying to access from multiple servers simultaneously.

1st question...hmm...wow.  Is that a patch you just wrote?!  Cool!

Hmm...since I'm running on a pre-compiled package...is this an error I 
can simply ignore?  Your patch seems to indicate you're just ignoring 
the result of the fsync call.
