I read that XFS is a good choice, but is not too reliable...
Are you using Maildir or MBOX?
In any case: XFS would be my last choice:
XFS is nice if you are working with large files (> 2GB), but for E-Mail i'd stick with ext3 (or maybe even reiser3) as it works very well with small files.
I don't know, but my Courier server (Maildir++ format, 10k users, 12 million mails on server, some users with over 20k mails in one directory/folder) runs _way_ smoother with XFS. I also tested ext4, but this was no large gain over ext3 (with dir_index of course).
