HI,
I have these 3 alphas and I want all mail to be received by one of them.

Let me illustrate:

There are machines 7, 8 and 9. I want 7 to be the main mail server. All
three should be able to send mail but the mail being sent from 8 and 9
should have a return address to 7. Also,any mail coming into 8 and 9
should bounce over to 7.

I have tried going through the mailsetup utility that comes with DU3.2C,
but it doesn't let me do masquerading.

I had originally planned on sharing the /var/spool/mail directory via NFS
so that the mail can be read from any machine. However, the thought
crossed my mind that if mail is received by, say for instance, 7 and 9,
and they both try to write to /var/spool/mail/<username>. Would this
cause a problem?

Your help is appreciated.
Sincerely
Santosh Krishnan
