Subject: [Exim] exim & qpopper info
hello eximmers,

how do exim and pop servers in general (qpopper in particular) interact?
what is the locking strategy? I found this in an usenet post:

someone wrote:

> to communicate with exim.


..so it looks like it is more than just a "locking strategy" but I can't
find any further info!

sorry for the FAQ.. actually I wonder if it *really is* a FAQ since
feeding dejanews with "exim qpopper lock*" shows nothing relevant..

TIA!
