Do the following :
	0) Use NFS to mount /usr/spool/mail onto one server.
	1) Use MX in BIND to point to the server for all other
	   machines.
	2) Read mail to root on that (mail) server.
	3) (If you know how to do it) Rewrite sendmail.cf on all the machines
	   to output the (mail)server as sender on all mail.  This is not
	   really necessary but makes things more elegant.
