And what if the server is Solaris? Same problem (at least in 2.2.10); get "failed to monitor" messages and no programs that use flock() or fcntl() will get their lock. This is a real pain using MUA on NFS mounted spool, and using dotlocking is rather silly don't you think?.

Isn't that a step backwards?
