But it was. I saw the qmail-getpw processes hung, blocking local
deliveries!

I know qmail-getpw hung after being invoked by a qmail-ldap component.
I also confirmed that it hung by tracing it, and confirming it was
doing stat("/home/tzz"). I am sure the user 'tzz' was in LDAP at the
time, but I don't know for sure that the LDAP lookup succeeded (there
was no message about a lookup failure in the logs).

Both the homeDirectory and mailmessagestore for user 'tzz' are set to
a non-NFS location, see my original message. /home/tzz is coming
only from NIS through getpwnam().
I'll test more over the weekend when the mail server is not so
heavily used, and I'll manually disable all /home mounts. Thank you
for your help.
