This has a significant benefit as well.  Given that Maildir is NFS safe
we get the possibility of:

  -- A single machine receives all inbound mail for all lists.

  -- Machine Q process mail for lists A, B, and C,

  -- Machine R processes mail for lists D and E.

  -- etc for other machines.

Instant parallelism, just add list-specific qrunners.
