I have using Red hat Linux 8.0 (sendmail for mail server) . I want to share my
/var/spool/mail folder to another machine.
what can I do.

You mean you want to move the directory to another server? You can male a tar.gz file of it, move it to the other server and unpack it there.

no ,,, I want real time sharing ...........

Then you should put /var/spool/mail on an NFS share.
