I've encountered the insidious stuttering FFFrom_ lines. I did a little
poking around in the docs and the archives of the mailing list. I found
many references to the problem in the archives and since I don't use NFS was
able to (I think) work around the problem by defining NO_NFS_ATIME_HACK in
config.h. That should hold me for awhile, but I'd really like to figure out
what the proper mailbox locking method I should use is. Is there a simple
"recipe" for this? Here's my configuration:
BSD/OS 2.0.1 and BSD/OS 2.1
procmail 3.10
sendmail 8.8.5
Coincidentally, I happen to be building a beta version of XEmacs. I noticed
that configure reported that movemail will use flock.
config.h has the following lines:
/*#define NO_fcntl_LOCK /* uncomment any of these three if you */
/*#define NO_lockf_LOCK /* definitely do not want procmail to make */
/*#define NO_flock_LOCK /* use of those kernel-locking methods */
Is the goal to eliminate as many locking options as possible? I'm not sure
what the correct approach is. It would appear from the man page that my
systems have both flock and fcntl locking, but not lockf. I imagine the
build process detects the absence of lockf, but should I define
NO_fcntl_LOCK?
Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
