Deliver the message by smtp if $message_age is small, and to the
NFS-mounted mailbox otherwise. Locking shouldn't be a problem because
Exim's mailbox locking is designed to be NFS-safe. (Cambridge's Central
Unix Service uses Exim and has mailboxes on NFS.) You should check that
the retry data doesn't cause problems.
