How does AIX lock mail?

I am trying to set up emacs RMAIL on an IBM RS/6000. I need to know
which locking scheme it useds. The emacs installation help says there
are two ways, but does not say how to tell which one to used.
The m-ibmrs6000.h file has commented out MAIL_USE_FLOCK, but the
/usr/ucb/mail program on my system does not have write permission on
/usr/spool/mail. That suggests that it may actually be using flock.
Thanks,
