let's discuss DRP perspective : if your mail server crash - ok, you still have all your mail and log on the filer
but does the backup mail server you just setted up back is able to
restart mail service in mounting mail and log on the filer - even with a blanck spool or queue dir?

IMO, not a good idea. Running the spool in a shared enviroment, across nfs, will definitely kill performance. You do win that the mail servers suddenly don't have an identity (as far as owning a incoming queue), but I don't see it as worth the performance hit.
