But I have to ask why someone would want to run things this way. BSD
systems - by definition - use flock() in /var/mail. If you run MH with
dot locking for /var/mail, you're eventually going to lose mail, since
the MDA will still use flock(), even if you don't. Not to mention other
tools in ports that will be assuming flock() for /var/mail.
I know the user was on FreeBSD, but a quick googling shows me that there
are a number of places that use dot-locking on the mail spool. Also,
it sounded like Martin was just testing things. Seems reasonable to
make it work.
