Re: sendmail question

The typical way is to have one machine as the server with it's mail 
directory shared and the other machines mount it.  Other ways I can think 
of to redirect mail are: aliases, procmail, and .forward files.  I'd go 
the alias route for a small network where the machines aren't rigidly 
administered.
