That's not true, we do have a mail locking standard: dotlocking. (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch5.html#s5.5)
However, there is a bug filed on deliver regarding this.
I have just uploaded a fixed version of the Debian deliver package, this should be available from <ftp://debian.midco.net/debian/Incoming/> or other Debian incoming mirrors soon (I expect it to be installed in the main archive quickly as well).
Suggesting that users recompile qpopper or other mail programs is unwarranted in my opinion, instead, if you are aware of any packages which violate this or any other policy, please file bugs against them. -- Joel Klecker (aka Espy) <URL:http://web.espy.org/> <URL:mailto:jk@espy.org> <URL:mailto:espy@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC -- <URL:http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/>
