Does anyone out there experiencing system mailboxes getting corrupted
under OS 4.0.1 ? From time to time, messages in our system mailboxes
either got "bitten" in half or got overwritten entirely and when this
happens, almost all the times, I saw a bunch of strange null chars in the
mailbox (using Emacs). /var/spool/mail resides on the mailserver's local
disk and other clients just nfs-mount that partition from the mailserver.
The mailserver is also acting as a fileserver/terminal-server. All
incoming/outgoing mail goes thro' this mailserver.
Any pointers will be much appreciated.
