The neat thing about having a mailserver that delivers into /afs
is that you can have more than one.

Simply have DNS MX records of equal precedence for each mailserver
so that inbound mail will be handed at random to each (or any) mailserver.

Et voila! A scaleable cluster of mailservers.

Provided each of these mailservers does only mailserving and nothing else,
this has nice side-effects: you can shutdown one of these without breaking
mail delivery.
