I'm trying to set up a mail hub for my linux cluster using Redhat's
sendmail rpm which uses procmail as its mailer.  I find that whenever the
mail hub receives mail for a user, it automounts the user's home
directory.  I don't know if it is sendmail or procmail that's doing it and
was wondering if someone could answer this question.

It's probably sendmail. looking for a .forward file in the user's homedir ?

I'd like to make whichever program is doing this stop.  I use the
/home automount feature in order to span several mount points under /home,
so I don't want to lose this feature.  But, I'm concerned that the mailhub
and the home file server will be swamped by NFS automounts.

That is highly likely to happen if the mount happens often (ie. on each mail
delivery)
