If you're interested. The patches are a little out of date, but I could pull the most up-to-date ones and put them up there if there's interest.

Personally, I've abandoned them and switched to Cyrus.

I've delivered email directly into AFS and it seems to work for a small
number of users.  I understand that problems arise from hosting many
mailboxes and the number of callbacks to clients when files /
directories get updated with new mail.

Do you intend to have an SMTP server write directly to AFS? Or end- user
run clients write downloaded email into AFS?

I ran a optimized-for-afs maildir at my site for a couple years. It was a great improvement over delivering to berkeley-style mailboxes in AFS.

However, I highly recommend deploying a *real* mail solution (e.g. Cyrus), and not deliver mail into AFS or user's home directories.
