In THOUGHTS, it says this.
The queue directory must be local. Mounting it over NFS is extremely
dangerous---not that this stops people from running sendmail that way!
Can anyone explain why? I'm aware of most of the security hol^H^H^H^H
issues with NFS, but this sounds like a reliability problem. Assuming
obvious things like UDP checksumming, is there some fundamental problem
with the NFS protocol that means it can't reliably be used for the queue
directory?
Thanks,
Tim.
