We have a mixture of 9.7 and 10.2 nodes in our network.
Our gateway node is a DN3500 running os10.2/bsd4.3.
When mail comes in from the outside world it acquires
the proper acls.  If the mail is sent from within the network
AND from a diskless node, the sender of the mail becomes
the owner of the recipient's mbox.  In some cases when mail
is sent from a diskless we get the error:
cannot append to /usr/spool/mail/person
Unknown mailer error 1

This error does not occur on disked nodes.  The partner
node for all of our diskless nodes is also the 9.7 server
node for the network.  The /usr/spool/mail directory
resides on the 10.2 node and is linked from the 9.7 DSP.

Can someone enlighten me?
