I'm confused. If my procmail uses flock()/lockf() as well as
dotlocking, how do I specify which one of the three I want it to use
when delivering to my mailbox? Lets say my MUA is configured to only
use lockf(). Is best solution to recompile procmail to use only this
one locking strategy? My system is running Solaris 2.5.1.
Procmail will use all of them simultaneously (that's what the locking
tests are for then you compile procmail: to determine which methods
work together). If procmail uses fcntl() and lockf(), and your MUA
uses lockf(), then you shouldn't have any problems as they have at
least one method (lockf()) that they both use.
