Hi everybody,

Is it important to compile maildrop with the support for dot-lock (--enable-use-dotlock=1)? What is a role of a dot-lock (avoid race condition?) and when can a race condition happen?

I am using maildrop (which i like the syntax of the .mailfilter file) with getmail, but get trouble with dot-locks that can't be created by maildrop.

Cheers, :)

Patrick
