Hey all, I know this is a dead horse but I couldn't find anything that 
answered this as completely as I liked.  So, I know in general, with 
MailScanner if you are using Sendmail 8.13 you should use a Lock Type of 
posix, and I've found many a post which mentions this.  However, I have 
a tickle in the back of my head that on Solaris systems (9 in this 
case), the lock type should still be flock.  Is my memory correct or do 
I need to change it to posix?
