Getting way off-topic, but here goes ...

This can be fairly easily done if Solaris is your NFS server; if you can
put the server that delivers mail on a secure subnet (relative to the
NFS servers) then you can export homedirs using unix auth to that server
(and krb5 everywhere else).  Or you can arrange for the MDA to have a
kerberos ticket.  I've done it both ways.

If you are using Netapp you're more limited.

Now with zfs there is more reason to go with Solaris as an NFS server,
although it's not a clear win ... yet.

Oy, Kerberos.  Never heard of any place that actually *uses* it, and

Lots of places use it.
