I recommend Dovecot via LMTP, but NFS would work, too, assuming one
file per message. I can't say which approach would handle the most
load.
When I started work on Postfix, my dream configuration for
inbound mail handling was:
Internet -> N x Postfix server -> M x Mailbox server
With N and M scaling up as needed.
