Subject: [EXIM] Does exim honour flock()?

Greetings.

We are working on a couple of different load balancing solutions for our
POP3 servers, and I have a couple of questions regarding the internals of
Exim, and it's file locking.

a) Does exim use the maillock() facilities as outlined in maillock(3X) ?

b) Does exim honour advisor flock()'s? If so, how does Exim handle a failed
deliver attempt to a flock()'d file? Bounce, or requeue? :)
