operating-systems, and /usr/spool/mail on BSD-based systems.

- ...machine.
- Delivery via
NFS-mounted filesystems may require usage of rpc.lockd and
rpc.statd to provide distributed file-locking, both of which are widely
regarded as unstable and unreliable. Furthermore, this will degrade
performance, as local processes as well as remote nfsd processes are
kept busy.

difficult to install other UAs or MTAs.

- ...there.
- Note that, in order to allow mail delivery to NFS-mounted
mail spool directories, most vendors have modified the /bin/mail
program to set its uid to that of the recipient when delivering mail.
If a local delivery agent (LDA) on a system does not provide this behavior,
the MTA must arrange to invoke it with the uid of the recipient --
this can be done by a wrapper C program.
