BUT: if you happen to (1) backup the mailboxes to tape, (2) crash the machine, (3) reboot, (4) restore the mailboxes, and (5) reuse the PID, all in the space of a microsecond, then you're STILL subject to a race condition. Of course, this is even more likely to happen the nights of Friday the 13th with a full moon. :-)

Granted. So document this, and get startled looks from your users if you tell them :-)

Seriously, I'd still appreciate documentation in the man pages somewhere. I demand that qmail's maildir(5) be fixed, so consequently, I'll have to ask that the Postfix man pages be fixed as well. I'm willing to write up the relevant paragraphs unless someone already has them and once I know if the tentative patch Wietse suggested is the final edition.
