        hi,

        i think there is another way to do it.
        from the description of the scene i seems like the mailservers running
        on the same machine es the nfs server. if thats true, all users could
        setup .promailrc files for their mail filtering, this rules would be
        accessed by the procmail programm which is started every time mail
        arrives at the mailserver, the mail is filtered, and saved in mbox
        files residing the the users home directory, if this is to insecure for
        you because the user can define the location of the destination file for
        the procmail filter rules, you can setup a global .procmailrc

        regards
