Mail Wizards:

I'm running smail 3.1.25 on RS/6000s and am very happy with it.  We
have a small number of high end servers where all user accounts
reside.  We also have a small machine that is our news and mail front
end.

All user accounts are NFS mounted everywhere.  Everyone has a .forward
in their account pointing to their home machine.  This is how we deal
with mail getting routed to the right place.

When any of the big servers goes down, its user accounts (and their
corresponding .forward files) disappear.  Any mail supposedly
delivered to the server now stays on the front end machine since there
is no .forward to reroute it.  Users don't log on to the front end
machine.

Is there an easy way to get mail re-rerouted once it has been delivered
to /usr/spool/mail/sol_user on the front end?

Thanks!

-Bob
