Hi,
Is there a configuration element that would allow me to change the
dot-lock name for the user's /var/mail inbox when it is locked? dovecot
(correctly) acquires <username>.lock, but I'm having a problem with
procmail where some obscure code path is preventing procmail's
acquisition of a lock when it's that default name in /var/mail.
The issue is not permissions (using a world-writeable and sticky-bit
config for /var/mail).
I'll dig into the procmail code if needed, but if dovecot could use a
different filename for such locks, then that would solve my issue.
procmail has such an option, and I only need to do this for inboxes.
Thanks,
Chris
