Since locks, particularly lock-file locks, are purely advisory on Unix
systems, such an approach would require the cooperation of all possible
MTAs, which seems unlikely considering approximately none of them know
or care about Mj in the first place. Why do you think that approach is
"cleaner" than never allowing the window in the first place? Obviously,
I disagree.
