Nonono.. I dont know how to configure sendmail to relay or do anything for
that matter - and I dont really want to. What I want to do is figure out
how to configure exim so that it will recognize and respect whatever
method of locking sendmail is doing on mailspool files, and also so that
it will (in addition to whatever it normally does) lock them in the same
manner so sendmail will recognize the locks that exim makes.
