	It uses mmap(), which is not safe on NFS.  This is why Cyrus 
can't be used on NFS.  This defeats the principle purpose of using 
Maildir.

	If you're going to do that, you might as well use either UW-IMAP 
or Cyrus, both of which are proven to be scalable (in different ways) 
to hundreds of thousands of users using local/SAN file storage, and 
the design I presented at LISA 2000 is designed to take a Cyrus-based 
system up to at least millions of users.
