According to the maildir specification, that is not possible because
Postfix uses the hostname as part of the file name, and different
hosts are supposed to have a different name.

Someone else will have to answer this. I haven't used NFS in years.
I work for a company that sells equipment, so it would not be proper
for me to make recommendations.
