Can you give some example values to set this to?  It is "/.mail" in the source
file, does that mean that the absolute path of the locks will be
"/.mail/something"?  Or is it relative to the home directory?  Since each home
user has a different mail spool for qmail, I would hope for the latter, but I
can't decode the source yet.

I am going to set it to "/tmp" to test what happens.
Is that insecure?
