This is surely an RTFM, but I was not able to locate it in the FAQs.
KMail uses a lock file (or fcntl) to lock a local mailbox when
incorporating email. Procmail(1) uses /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME.lock.
However, since Postfix does not use procmail I was wondering if it
followed the same convention that procmail does?
Also, AFAIK, fetchmail simply pipes its output into postfix via the
sendmail interface, so the only guys updating /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME are
postfix and kmail.
