I'm planning the migration from our current mail setup (IMAP server has local disk for Unix mbox formatted mail folders and /var/mail inboxes, being delivered via Sendmail over NFS) to a new setup with mix formatted mailboxes with a local Postfix delivery and I was curious if it's a better idea to configure Postfix with tmail to directly deliver to a mix mailbox in the users home directory, or let Postfix drop mbox formatted mail to /var/mail and then let imapd snarf the /var/mail inbox into the mix inbox the next time the user checks mail.

On first thought, I planned on direct tmail deliveries, but then I was thinking that I may be driving up the load average due to exec'ing tmail and locking the mix inbox on every incoming message vs appending to the /var/mail mbox and then only needing to lock the mix inbox when the user is actually requesting new mail.
Thought???
