[Sunhelp] Automount and Qmail

[Gary Gendel x3145]

Hi all,

I've run into a strange problem...

I have a Sparcstation 10 which I'm using as my internet services (mail, http, 
etc.) running Solaris 7.

I'm using Qmail with standard Unix mailbox format (in /var/mail) for users.  
Recently I set up auto_homes for users which seems to be working properly, 
except for Qmail.  If the user's home directory is already mounted Qmail works 
correctly.  However, if the home directory is not mounted Qmail bounces the 
mail with a "user not found" error.  I've circumvented this problem by setting 
the user's home directories as /export/home/<user> rather than /home/<user>.

Anyone have a clue on why automount doesn't respond to Qmail's directory 
queries?

Regards,
Gary
