Hello Sebastian,

Thanks a lot.

I am really worried about data storage. I think NFS/DFS is  slower than local 
hard drivers.  and I feel NFS is not stable enough. DFS may be good.  But I am 
not sure which one is good enough that can work with QMT together.

So I try to find a way that mail system support Dual MTA.  I guess amavisd-new 
can do that, but I am not sure. I got this from google.
