Need more about NSF lockf & mail problem

Hello,

For a long time I have problems between a Sun mail server and an DecAlpha.

Jay Wasserman <jrw_at_vlsi.bu.edu> recently posted a summary about this lock/
sendmail/NFS problem. The solution seems to be in the MAILLOCKING setting.

I would really like to know more about "MAILLOCKING" : my DecAlpha is
still in DecOSF 1.3 (I know I have to upgrade it) and I didn't see any reference
to MAILLOCKING, no manual page "mail_manual_setup". I have recompiled
sendmail-8.6.10 in replacement of original sendmail, with option NULLRELAY,
without success.

- Does MAILLOCKING have any impact with the new sendmail ? with DecOSF 1.3 ?
- How to set MAILLOCKING : 1, 5, other ? why ?
- Could it change anything if the Decalpha was the mail server (not the Sun) ?

Thanks in advance
