We now have a FreeBSD server. We want to be able to scale it such that
ppl logon to a bunch of 486's with a larger server.
But this seems impossible to achieve w.r.t. mailbox's. How do ppl
solve this? (I cant imagine that FreeBSD machines never play the role
of servers...and people *do* read their mail while new mail comes in,
don't they?)
