put the maildirs on a high-performance server using RAID and a logging
filesystem (eg sun's online disksuite). cross-mount the filestores between
the servers. Users then read mail from their maildirs usinf qmail-pop3d
off any of the servers.
front-end the servers with a number of qmail systems which deliver over
NFS.
you can then play around with secondary interface addresses on the popmail
servers to publish the same IP address at each city which is assosiated
with (say) pop.mydomain.com and is then routed to the nearest pop-server
