sorry to jump on this conversation but this is a pain for me on FC3 with 1.0 stable. are you saying that the conf line for lock files mbox format under /var/spool/mail/%u should only read
mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = fcntl
i have
mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl
No, having the dotlock files is safer. But *IF* everything that is writing to mboxes uses fcntl locking, you don't necessarily need dotlocks. That means mostly your MDA, but also anything else that touches the mboxes.
