Greetings all.

Can someone please tell me why a lock file is created for users in the
mail spool directory. 

I have a user who is always getting a lock file created for him (even
when he is not accessing his mail) and it is annoying!!!

I have root permissions so is there anything I can do to stop them being
created.

Thanks, Dave.
