I haven't turned off the use of lock files on the Central Unix Service,
though of course Exim uses lockf locking as well. I don't know what all
the various MUAs use, but we haven't had any complaints. Mail is
delivered by either of two Solaris 2 systems into a partition that
resides on an FAServer machine. So all access to mailboxes is via NFS.
