We have stored all configuration files (save 'me') on NFS for about 8
months now, with no problem. It does put quite a bit of additional
strain on the NFS server, though; I'm looking at moving control to a
RAMdisk, and just copying from the NFS server when qmail is restarted.
We also store spool on NFS with no problems.
We've stored queue on NFS in the past, and while we didn't see any
lost mail, we did see huge performance problems, and had to move it to
local storage.
