We're considering purchasing filer(s) as part of a mail system upgrade. Setup would be a cluster of redundant and very similarly configured machine around one or more filers containing all the real data (/var/spool/mail for customers, some web serving, and other stuff). Most likely all the clustered machines will do delivery to the shared area and POP/IMAP reading.
My understanding is that even with nfs locking having multiple systems do delivery is not safe.
Could you live with a single (+ backup) delivery system? Having several MXs of different preferences should be ok as I would expect only one to actually be delivering mail at any time.
Other comments?
