Delivering mail onto nfs is very high risk.  One problem is that if
remove a file then reuse its name (or its inode) nfs might give you the
old file again.

The best solution is to just use an mx record to get the mail to go
to the machine with a proper mail queue.  And probably use something
like ssmtp as the local mail transport agent.
