I see two *BIG* problems with your setup that you'll need to rectify
before we can do much about your sendmail errors:
1) Exporting /var
Have you considered the ramifications of this ? What happens
when a client boots up and tries to clean /var/run ? or when
a daemon starts on one machine, then tries on the other ?
I can see exporting /var/mail/ (or /var/spool/mail), but
am not sure what rational advise I can offer in this regards.
2) Unable to lock
If locking isn't working, you're going to soon be hosed -
any attempts to simultaneously access a file may leave it
in a inconsistant state.
You might check debian{-devel} or the lkml to see whats up
with the locking... I make only minimal use of NFS, and haven't
run across this issue.

It's not? Are you saying that you SHOULD allow people (other than William
Wallace) to shoot lightning bolts from their arse?
