Exactly, but I'd rather avoid that.  I don't like having special
cases if it's avoidable.  Special cases don't scale well.

Yes, but since the mailman machine lives outside the firewall,
I'd *really* rather not run NFS, even if it is filtered at the
router.

Further, that means you've introduced a single dependency into
your mail server setup, which rather defeats the purpose of
having redundant mail receivers.

Yah, but ultimately suboptimal, I think...  especially since the
only reason it's the easiest is because of the lack of
abstraction of the interfaces.
