I seem to recall that the main problems lie with trying to run different MTA
queues across different file systems, because the author of Postfix decided
to use a somewhat strange file system-dependent queue file naming mechanism,
which means that queue files on different fs's on the same machine are not
guaranteed to be unique....

I don't know if this also means that moving a queue file from one fs to
another can render it non-functional because its name is no longer valid,
however I wouldn't be too surprised...

Having said that, I don't use Postfix myself - maybe some of the Postfix
users on this list could contribute their experiences of what works & what
doesn't, things which catch out the unwary, or tricks to make the whole thing
go smoothly?   Could even turn into a FAQ :)

Regards,

Antony.
