It doesn't scale (with mbox) to hundreds of machines, and many implementations of NFS on non-linux systems don't implement file-locking properly, which especially hurts mbox. Doing maildir over NFS is a perfectly valid way to do this, but you end up with at least three boxes... a highly redundant NFS file server and mail servers tied to it. -- Nate Duehr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
