I think the performance of those disks (and the RAID you put on them) will
be much more significant that the filesystem you use, considering the size
of your user population.  And given that factor, I'd say that even ext3
won't give you any problems performance-wise.  Still, reiserfs, IMO, would
be preferable for mail files.
