my thinking is that if this is a main server - which it sounds like it
is, it would make sense to get it set up properly.

Also, since you said you are using LVM, it's easy enough to shrink
existing partitions to make new partitions so you could have
separate /home and /opt and /var/spool/mail partitions (though I'd
recommend using cyrus-imapd as your mail server but that's another
issue).
