NFS Mail directories

[Bruce Barnett]

We are running SunOS 4.0 and using essentially
/usr/lib/sendmail.subsidiary.cf on all machines except the mail gateway.

We NFS mount /var/spool/mail. Everything works fine.  Each machine can
send and receive mail.  Users can read mail on any machine that mounts the
same /var/spool/mail.

Some 3.X machines here are using the NFS mounted mail directories.  The
sendmail is just a rsh shell script on those clients.  The one problem we
had with that scheme is that USENET articles posted from those machines
would generate return addresses to clients that could not receive mail. We
have to intercept those addresses at the mail gateway and redirect mail to
the NFS mail machine.
