Can two accounts on different CPUs have the same incoming mailbox? Here's the situation. I have two Sparcstations that share practically all their files. Each user has the same home directory regardless of which CPU he logs on to. So it really doesn't matter which CPU a person is using. That's very convenient for evening out the system load, etc. The only problem is mail. Mail goes to (for example) _either_ mcovingt@aisun1 _or_ mcovingt@aisun2, and if you log on to the other CPU, you don't receive it. Is there a simple way that mail can be made to arrive where the user can get his mail regardless of which CPU he's on? This does not seem to be a case for .forward files because each user has the same files regardless of which CPU he's on; thus if I used a .forward file to forward from aisun1 to aisun2, it would also forward, loopingly, from aisun2 to aisun2. Reply by email, please. I don't regularly read this newsgroup. Thanks. .
