Last place I worked did qmail/Maildir off of NetApps.  Maildir has no file
locking issues.

Those shell users who wanted mbox were s'posed to do a conditional redirect in
their .qmail file so they'd only do mail on one machine.  At least under
FreeBSD, local file locking on an NFS mount will work ...
