As others have pointed out, you can't share queues with qmail. The
queue requires a local filesystem.
I'm not as sure about Coda, but I can tell you that NFS-sharing is
the exact opposite of what you want. If your two machines are sharing qmail
binaries using NFS, and one of the machines goes down, then the chances are
greater than 50% that the second machine will quickly hang or become
unusable.
