We think so :-)

I would advise against that for several reasons. NFS is a bad idea most of
the time and it also turns out that most OSes have trouble with certain NFS
operations, like doing softquotas on Maildir boxes. I know for a fact that
this causes problems.
With Maildir and a virtual user setup, combined with the popproxy, it's very
easy to continue adding boxes. Also lots cheaper than the NetCrap approach.
