-
- We are currently using a Sun3/280 running SunOS 4.1.1 as a mailserver for
- all our Suns and HPs (720s and 730s running 8.07). Initially we had
- problems with locking-bugs, but they disappeared when we installed the
- "100075-07" patch for Suns on the server.
-
- We have not had any problems with ownership/permissions, but then we only
- let the mailserver deliver new mail to the spool area, the other machines
- aren't even running sendmail.
