Does local VAXmail notification work correctly?
What version of VMS?
Make sure the logical MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS is set correctly.  (Mine is 7)

MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS - BIT 0 - all user disks accessable to all cluster nodes.
                            If a node is in the cluster, just write to
   			    the mail.mai file.
 		    BIT 1 - Send new mail notification to all cluster nodes
 		    BIT 2 - include the time in the broadcast message.

Your probably missing bit 1.
