I doubt their queues themselves are replicated
(/afs/cellname/service/mailqs/q*) since they need to be read/write. But the
volume that /afs/cellname/service/mailqs is in is most likely replicated. You
want to make sure that that directory is available, even if a server is down,
so that mail can be delivered to the queues. We have the volumes containing
that directory, and all directories above it replicated on all of our servers.
