Re: mail problems on mx2?

[Robert Dinse <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     I had unmounted /usr/local from eskimo to the mail servers intending to
reduce NFS dependencies and thus increase reliabilities.

     What I did not realize is that procmail rules had been placed in
/usr/local that a lot of people include from their .procmailrc's, and so mail
was backed up because it could not read those rules.

     I've re-mounted the partition until we can come up with a way to address
this problem.  Probably move them to ultra1 space.
