Have courierd (for example) simply hand out unique file names on a TCP port. Simple to do, and completely, absolutely, eliminates all race conditions and conflicts. You no longer need PID's, inodes or whatever.
Except that now maildrop relies on courierd running to hand out unique pids? Doesn't sound so good.
Not pids, just filenames. But I think that's not the objection. I said courierd -for example-.
Having a dedicated name-generator daemon might be preferable, since it's so small and simple a program.
Is there any reason why a standalone maildrop with some other MTA (qmail or whatever) couldn't get it's filenames off another daemon?
Yes - a standalone UID or GUID daemon might solve several problems, not just in this domain.
