Hi all, I mounted on Filer the users mailbox, and when a user requests her/him mailbox, it is locked (hang) and ipop3d process appears awaiting and adding.(/usr/mail/*.lock & *.lock.1106.....) The server SGI is acting as SMTP and POP3 server mounting Filer NFS V3

/etc/fstab on SGI

filer:/vol/vol1/indy /filer nfs rw 0 0

filer:/vol/vol1/indy /var/mail nfs rw 0 0

Any comment would be appreciated.

Thanks

You should provide more information about your setup if you want to get some help, for example :

model of filer version of ontap version of irix is your nfs configured correctly on the sgi side ? (rpc.lockd ...)

I'd be glad of theoretical comments and practical experience since it seems very attractive to have the mail drop directory on a filer. I've never dared try!

MTA = qmail with Maildir mailbox format (bugproof over NFS) << Maildirs, unlike mbox files and mh folders, won't be corrupted if the system crashes during delivery. Even better, not only can a user safely read his mail over NFS, but any number of NFS clients can deliver mail to him at the same time.

...

...

(in http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html ) MDA = qmail / procmail MUA = any (unix / windows) acessing the mail throught POP and IMAP with courier-imap mail server = redhat 7.1 mail storage = netapp (with an NFS mount point and a symlink)

Hi all, I resolved the issue configuring IRIX SGI as described in BUGID 92741 (NOW). So the users file-based mailboxes with NFSv3 are working well. This deployment involves: SGI IRIX 6.5.22 Filer F820 6.5.1R1 NFSv3: filer:/vol/vol1/indy /var/mail nfs rw 0 0 tcp

Thanks to everyone who discuss on this issue.
