Nope - Chris - it doesn't work... at least for me...

I'm running freebsd, which does not allow a process to place an flock on /dev/null (or at least a non root one...

so delivery results in this error:

flock() failed. status deferred.

so on FreeBSD, the cat seems to be required...

Should this be fixed? Seems kinda messy.

to "|cat >/dev/null"

(because it's a pipe, there is no lock attempted - right?)

vs:

to /dev/null

which attempts an flock (thinks it's working with an mbox style file - a lock is needed to prevent corruption)

I'm dumping message by piping to cat and dumping it's output to /dev/null - we can't deliver directly to it due to ownership issues - right? wouldn't it make sense to have an exception to the security rule for /dev/null to avoid having to shell and cat just to dump a message?

What ownership issues? /dev/null is world-writable. I use "to /dev/null" in my .mailfilter all the time. Or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to do?
