For the record, It is NOT RECOMMENDED to put mail spools on NFS volumes. NFS locking is not reliable and you WILL get corrupted spools or other wierd locking behavior. Particularly with FreeBSD where NFS locking just started working in 5.x. In 4.x, it was all a sham :-) -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
