Alls you need is to 'mount' the maildtop directory into a container
with read/write permission, and install the Postfix sendmail and
postdrop programs insalled in the container. As long as there is a
Postfix pickup daemon running somewhere, it will pick up new messages
in at most 60 seconds.
Originally. Postfix was designed to support NFS file sharing, where
the maildrop direcfory is shared read/write, the server runs a full
Postfix install, and the clients have Postfix sendmil and postdrop
programs.
