As far as I know yes. I haven't tried qmail, but I've seen sendmail work (With locking) on filers.
It works just fine with Qmail. If you're using Qmail it's likely (but not certain) that you are using Maildirs instead of good old mbox's. If so, there isn't much concern about locking.
I run multiple dark sites with a few hundred thousand pieces of email per day on each of them using two Pentium boxes and little F720's and Qmail. It works just fine. These are FreeBSD, though. I don't waste my time working with NT except under duress.
For web space, we use an older F230, but the server-side software is Apache and has no problems.
I've tested both Inn and Dnews and had no problems. It also will work just fine with Highwind's suite of software.
We haven't run bind out of an NFS-mounted partition from a NetApp, but I can't imagine why it would choke. Same thing with Ftp.
G'luck. Don't put all your eggs in one big basket. :)
