We run two Solaris 2 machines which deliver info /var/mail/${local_part}
over NFS; the directory itself is in fact on a separate fileserver, i.e.
not on either of the MTA machines. This hasn't given us any problems.
Both fcntl and lockfile locking are enabled. Users use a number of
different MUAs, including Pine, Elm, MH, as well as IMAP and POP.
