RE: Recipe Problem

Is it possible to use a lock file while using Dmail?  I originally did it
and it gave me errors.  Do I need to use a lock file?  I converted all of my
mailboxes and INBOX to mbx format from unix format?

Thanks,
Jeff

  You will also want to put a lock on your recipes, without a lock, you
could end up with jumbled messages or just plain messed up messages.
