just delivery or retrieval too??
like lets say you have your mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and mywork.com has a mx record for a machine handles all the delivery
using sendmail (maybe smtp.mywork.com)
now could we have two other machines that nfs mount the mail directory
from smtp.mywork.com and mail.mywork.com points to these 2 machines which
only do pop or imap?
I thought nfs did appropriate file locking and stuff. Is there another
alternative (besides a big/expensive unix machine)?
