Are there some standard articles/papers/books which one can read to
decide how to implement a large user community mail setup, with regards
to NFS'd mailboxes vs local mailboxes?  Issues such as mail box locked
files problems versus lack of back up and recovery of mail boxes, machines
being accessible, etc.?

Thanks!
