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?

The correct setting for this option depends on the format of your system's mailbox files and the locking conventions used by your other mail software.

See INSTALL for more information.
