I have a central box that generates all configfiles and puts them in a
directory called /conf/mail on a NetApp fileserver, from which all
qmail boxes copy their configuration periodically.
Make sure you copy stuff to tmpfiles and then move 'm (also when
generating files to go into /conf/mail). Especially over
NFS, doing it any different is guaranteed trouble.
It works like a charm.
