I doubt that fsync() is available everywhere (otherwise why test for it in the configure script?), so it seems that Jason should have been testing for its presence (though see below) and worming around its abscence if he wanted TMDA to run on as many platforms as possible.
fsync() is POSIX, and TMDA assumes a POSIX-complaint UNIX. Most mail servers tend to be such, which is probably why I've never had a report of an installation lacking fsync().
That's just me though, in general I see your point here.
