Possible +values are: 'default', 'dotlock', 'external', 'kernel', and 'null'. + +New statement 'pid-check' instructs mailutils to check if the PID of +the process owning the lock still exists in the process table. If it +doesn't the lock is considered stale and is removed. + +The 'flags' statement is deprecated. If used, an error message is +issued along with a suggestion on what statement to use instead: + + Flag Statement to use + --------+------------------- + E type external + R retry-count N + T expire-timeout N + P pid-check true + +The 'retry-timeout' statement is a misnomer and is therefore +deprecated.
