UNIX not being a system where mandatory locking's been very popular, I haven't seen this message and don't know what circumstances it'd appear. Can you tell me more?

LEARN ABOUT ULTRIX
mtstailor
mtstailor(5mh) mtstailor(5mh)
Name
mtstailor - system customization for MH message system
Description
The file defines run-time options for those MH programs which interact (in some form) with the message transport system. At present, these
(user) programs are: and
The options available along with default values and a description of their meanings are listed below:
The host name that MH considers local.
If not set, depending on the version of ULTRIX you are running, MH will query the system for this value (for example: <whoami.h>,
gethostname). This has no equivalent in the MH configuration file.
The name of the local host in the UUCP "domain".
If not set, depending on the version of ULTRIX you are running, MH will query the system for this value. This has no equivalent
in the MH configuration file.
A host or list of hosts running
can be specified. When an MH program is run, it uses this entry to search for a central to connect to. This is particularly
useful for workstation users who may not have running on their workstation.
The directory where maildrops are kept.
If this is empty, the user's home directory is used. This overrides the mail field in the MH configuration file.
The name of the maildrop file in the directory where maildrops are kept.
If this is empty, the user's login name is used. This overrides the mail field in the MH configuration file.
The beginning-of-message delimiter for maildrops.
The end-of-message delimiter for maildrops.
If non-zero, then support for MMailids in
is enabled. Basically, the field in the password file is of the form
My Full Name <mailid>
The MH internal routines that deal with user and full names will return mailid and My Full Name respectively.
The locking discipline to perform.
A value of 0 means to use if available, standard locking otherwise. A value of 1 means to use locking always (the name of the
lock is based on the file name). A value of 2 means to use locking always (the name of the lock is based on device/inode pairs).
The name of the directory for making locks.
If your system does not have the syscall, then this directory is used when creating locks. If the value is empty, then the
directory of the file to be locked is used.
The pathname to the
program.
The name of the system-wide default
file. See for the details.
The highest user-id which should NOT receive mail addressed to
everyone.
If set, then each user-id greater than everyone
that has a login shell equivalent to the given value (for example, indicates that mail for everyone should not be sent to them.
This is useful for handling admin, dummy, and guest logins.
A few words on locking: MH has a flexible locking system for making locks on files. There are two variables you should be aware of: lock-
style and lockldir. The first controls the method of locking: the second says where lock files should be created.
The lockstyle variable can take on three values: 0, 1, 2. A value of 0 means use the syscall if you are running on 4.2BSD, otherwise use a
locking style of 1. A value of 1 or 2 specifies that a file should be created whose existence means locked and whose non-existence means
unlocked. A value of 1 specified that the lockname is constructed by appending to the name of the file being locked.
A value of 2 says to construct the lockname by looking at the device and inode numbers of the file being locked. If the lockldir variable
is not specified, lock files will be created in the directory where the file being locked resides. Otherwise, lock files will be created
in the directory specified by lockldir. Prior to installing MH, you should see how locking is done at your site, and set the appropriate
values.
