Migration of sendmail to QNX 6 and directories

Has anyone done a multi-node sendmail? What I’d like to do is migrate
my main servers from QNX 4 to QNX 6.

Currently, I have a QNX 4 node (node 1) that has sendmail running on it, and it
gets the mail into //1/usr/spool/mail/* directory. This works great with multiple
nodes accessing it, because nodes 2 and 3 for example, simply have a prefix
to //1/usr/spool/mail and I can read mail from everywhere…

Now, when I move to QNX 6 for the main mail server, how do I do it? Is it
considered the “correct” way to simply create a qnet symlink from /var/spool/mail
to /net/node1/var/spool/mail? Or is there a better way? I’d like to continue
to use elm to read my mail.

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks, and happy new year to everyone!

You can POP/IMAP to node 1 from other nodes/hosts to read your mail.

This should work fine.

Or is there a better way? I’d like to continue
to use elm to read my mail.

I’ll try to find out.
