How safe is maildrop with simultaneous deliveries?

I have a vmail setup where all users get a single home dir ("/home/vmail/domain.com"), and then their maildirs are in subdirs of this single home dir.

What are the risks of letting postfix try to deliver 2 or more simultaneous virtual deliveries to this setup?

Note: I use a bunch of xfilter commands and otherwise flex maildrop quite a bit. So the question really is whether maildrop is creating any named temp files which are going to be clobbered by another simultaneous instance?

Next question. If I have two domains in seperate home dirs THEN can I do multiple deliveries? ie if there are temp files getting clobbered then are they in /tmp or in the home dir?

Thanks
