Well, if the goal is to eliminate race conditions, this still won't do the
trick. Remember one of my early mails about this, Sam? Before we took it to the list.

Can you explain how the inode becomes not-a-unique identifier on the mail server? I'm not seeing it.

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.
