After a quick glance at the source code of spamoracle 1.4 (that I used
a few years ago for a school project), I would answer "no" : database
is read from file to memory, and if you do "spamoracle add", it will
update the database (in memory), then dump it back to a (temporary)
file which will eventually being renamed and erase your previous
database. As far as I can see, there is no locking of any kind.
But if you process your mails one by one, there shouldn't be any
problem either ; it depends on your MDA.=20
