Even with _all_ MUAs and MTAs using dot-locking, I still expect to see
lost mail over NFS. It's a cache synchronisation problem, not a locking
problem.
Debian's policy of just dot-locking appears broken to me, whereas an
fcntl()-everywhere policy (perhaps with dot-locking as well for
compatibility with NFS servers running other OSes) would be ok. With
the recent NFS changes, that is.
Please prove me wrong.
Awaiting correction,
