Network-wide Mail Spool?

[99700000]

One thing you have to consider here is whether security is going to be
a problem.  With ordinary NFS any workstation on which the user can
become root allows the user to impersonate any other user and read
the mail.
I guess 'secure NFS' is a way around this.  We're planning to use the MIT
Project Athena technology, in which mail is delivered to post-office
machines.  The users at workstations access it from there using a
Kerberos-authenticated POP protocol.  Another Athena component, Zephyr,
is used for incoming mail notification.
