You are correct. Layer 3.

We have considered maildir as a possibility to allow us to use NFS. 
We would use procmail for LDA and Cyrus for IMAP if we went to
maildir. UW-IMAP supports a maildir format, too. But Crispin himself
says Cyrus does a better job for maildir. Opinions / thoughts
regarding these choices?

I think I will have to set up a test installation of all of this so
that I can see for myself.
