I have ELM 2.3 running on a SUN 4 network. The machine that receives
mail (through sendmail) is where the /var/spool/mail partition is.
However, users cannot log in to this machine. Users log into other
machines that mount the servers /var/spool/mail.

I would like to know if ELM has any problems when the /var/spool/mail
is not actually on the machine that ELM is running on.

Apparently other mailers have a problem with this (not UCB Mail
though).
