/etc/postfix/main.cf.default: mailbox_delivery_lock = flock, dotlock
Is flock equivalent to dovecot's fnctl locking? For mbox what type of locking settings should I be using? (No NFS, only local filesystem.)
I'm using procmail to deliver mail to my mboxes. Does the above postfix setting effect procmail's locking method? I use rules like this:
:0
- ^X-BeenThere: dovecot@procontrol.fi DOVECOT
If I understand this correctly, :0: in procmailrc would explicitly use dotlocks instead of "kernel-locks" as procmail calls it. I'm not fully understanding all this locking stuff.

p.s. Timo, I received your test message after my prior posting attempt bounced. I had this error message:
