Yes, it works very well. Install qmail locally on your frontend machines. Have the user's home space with Maildir format mailboxes mounted over NFS. It's quite simple. As for tips: give your frontend machines plenty of disk I/O; for heavy usage consider using different NICs for public traffic and for NFS traffic; get a reliable NFS server (NetApps are fab, but pricey). james To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
