IME it works well enough, and the uneven distribution isn't a real
problem so long as the biggest directories don't get too big. It has the
advantage of making the filesystem easier to navigate for the syaadmins.
To implement it you want something like
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /export/mail/$domain/${substr_1_1:$local_part}/${substr_1_2:$local_part}/$local_part
create_directory
