LVS is getting much easier to setup and maintain, but a simple round robin dns system is also quite easy to put together for a perl coder[1]. None of the mail servers need any sort of "LVS" magic, and nothing about mail is really CPU bound (other than AV), and mail systems nicely distribute themselves when given the opportunity to.
