Exporting /var/spool/mail is not recommended because of locking
problems with NFS. If you want to NFS-share mailboxes, you should use
maildir mailboxes. Instead of exporting /var/spool/mail, export the
the /home tree or individual home directories or maildirs. Or, even
better, use POP or IMAP for remote mail access.
