Re: mbox, cluster, nfs !!!???

[Todd Piket]

This is how we run our IMAP/POP configuration so I guarantee it works. 
We have about 15000 users with an NFS mounted mailspool and NFS mounted 
home directories.  It works like a champ.  We use RedHat9.  The homedirs 
 are currently on a Network Appliance F840.  We use NFSv3 over TCP, 
definitely not UDP.

Hi,

3 Linux servers serving imap/pop for 50000 (1000 active) users from nfs 
mounted homes.  Using mbox  format.  Is this possible?  Apperently not!

I'm getting a whole lot of; (I think this is the important part)

- Fatal mailbox error ... Unexpected changes to mailbox ...
- Fatal mailbox error ... Mailbox shrank from ### to ###
Netscape seems not to care, but Outlook complains all the time!

It has been a months now, I got some pretty angry users.

help?.
