You're trying to get a 2nd server act as a client gateway(pop3s/imaps/whatever) while the original acts as smtp gateway ?
Usually it is common practice to store mail on the server that hosts clients and have the smtp gateway deliver the mail there over smtp. Using a san to store mails from the smtp gateway and access those directly from the client gateway should be possuble (just mount in 2 places with nfs for example) You might be opening a can of worms by doing that though... Maybe someone with more experience has different ideas though.
