- Modify sendmail.cf on the mail server (Start with sendmail.main.cf)
- Change your aliases on the NIS master to specify mail delivery on the
- mail host.
-
- Empty /var/spool/mail on the clients to make it a mount point, place the
- filesystem in /etc/fstab, export the filesystem on your server, mount it,
- kill the sendmail daemon on the clients (NOT THE MAIL HOST!) also comment
- it out of rc.local on all clients.
-
- That should get you started.
