Yes, this works. >Where is the MTA running? On the Solaris box? As long as the Solaris >system has the proper access to the fs there should be no problems. Yes, MTA (sendmail) is running on the Solaris host, and the directory is exported properly. >Hmm, does the "mail" user (or whatever the MTA runs as) have the same >UID/GID on both systems? This is a must for NFS sharing. On Solaris the MTA is running as the daemon user which has the same UID/GID on both systems, and on the Debian box there is no MTA (at least none listening on port 25). Well at least "something" seems to work: if I remove the mail folder of the user and send him "fresh" email, the file gets created ..... but is still empty.
