Reiserfs, as discussed here not too long ago, apparently has problems. It's
also slightly slower than ext2 because of its journaling. Since it's a
less-mature filesystem than ext2, and its only benefit is a faster fsck at
boot (which only happens after an abnormal shutdown or a crash), I don't see
why you'd want to risk it.
ext2 works really well with postfix, even for a couple million mails a day,
and unless you've got a huge (60gb+?) filesystem on an IDE (on scsi or raid,
the speed is quite acceptable) interface, the fsck's are still very fast.
