The docs fairly clearly say that putting the queue on NFS is a no-no.
My understanding has always been that this isn't just because you
might be tempted to share it, which obviously wouldn't work, but that
the semantics of NFS are not sufficient for how the qmail-queue and
delivery programs are written.
>From 'THOUGHTS', as distributed with qmail-1.03:
5. Handling queued mail (qmail-send, qmail-clean)
The queue directory must be local. Mounting it over NFS is extremely
dangerous---not that this stops people from running sendmail that way!
Diskless hosts should use mini-qmail instead.
Delivery to Maildirs on NFS is fine - the order of operations
specified are constructed in order that it can be "safe" - although
you should note that the recommendation is still to deliver locally
and read remotely if you must (obviously on a dedicated NFS server you
can't deliver locally.)
