I personally wouldn't want my mail storage on AFS. I say that because, right now, it is, and I can't wait to get it off of it. It's caused me nothing but problems, because the AFS fileserver doesn't just seem to be "made" to handle the transactional intensity of mail-land. We got around a lot of our performance issues by moving from a berkeley-based mailspool to a maildir-like one a couple years ago, but now are always coming up against performance (leading into stability) issues caused by AFS being part of the stack. Less things being part of the stack with your mail system will make things better; run it on some quality fibre or iscsi attached storage and you won't end up screaming in pain later on.
