Mark,

I was wondering about this particular comment...

Is MIX any more or less susceptible to problems over NFS than mbox
format? I ask because we run an NFS environment off of several current
generation NetApp boxes with no problems for many, many years serving
10's of thousands of users. Besides UW-imap, sendmail writes messages
using procmail. Despite warnings about potential NFS problems this
system has worked extremely well and I was wondering if there was
anything that would make MIX more or less susceptible to NFS
difficulties as compared with mbox which we currently use.

thanks,
David
