Thanks Todd.
No I have no motive. I'm investigating ways to test the performance of a cluster of machines acting as mail servers, with exim as the MTA. There are other ways of doing this than what I asked, obviously. I'm early on the learning curve here and just seeing what is possible.

We don't split users up per mail server, though I assume you could
route email that way using LMTP, so my answer won't address your exact
question.
The way we do this is using shared storage (NFS). Several mail
servers with maildirs mounted in the same location, all of the mail
servers using the same configuration, then inbound traffic is load
balanced across them.
Or do you have some motive for not using a network file system?
