We are planning on delivering mail into users' AFS volumes via some

not, I will probably write such a beast over Christmas.
Hi Norman,
We have been using auth-sendmail [1] in production for over a year
with two mailservers (rs_aix32). We have <100 users.
We deliver to $LOGNAME/.mail rather than a spool directory so users
manage their own space. We disable .forward file processing because
it is too easy for users to create mail loops and do remote processing
which we would rather control via /etc/aliases.
auth-sendmail has a wrapper script for use with the AIX srcmstr, so you
can use "stopsrc -s sendmail" and 'startsrc -s sendmail -a "-bd -q30m"'
I guess you would choose your own variation but the core of auth-sendmail
is mlocal.c which may give you some useful ideas.
Hope this helps!
