sending email within 5 node network

[gzf at gbr.msd.ray.com (Jerry Feldman {75562})]

There are several ways to configure a multi-node network. One way that I
might do it is to designate one node as the mail server. If one or more of
the client nodes on the network were either Windows or Mac, I would
configure this node as a POP server. I would also NFS export
/var/spool/mail. 

On the client Linux or Unix systems I would mount /var/spool/mail from the
server. 

Assuming that the server has a real IP address and is connected to the
Internet, I would possibly set each client sendmail to use the server as a
smart SMTP host. This should cover most instances. I am not an expert on
sendmail, but I have been able to get it working with no problems.
