Our temporary/permanent arrangement here, sure to send shivers of disgust
to e-mail programmers everywhere, has been to comment out the file 
locking stuff. I'm not a unix programmer, but our temp who has gone on
to bigger and better stuff said the SysV locking is a leap of faith
anyway. So...women, children, and file locking first.

We also inserted a little feature, sure to send serious e-mail programmers
to flubbing their lips with their index fingers,  giving all pop users
the same logins as their uucp system ids. When they are away from their
desks and have only laptops with modems, they can call up and get their
mail that way, when they are at their desks popper scavenges their
/usr/spool/uucp/x...... directory for all of their goodies and appends
it to their popper mailbox when they connect via the network.
