I think it is a legacy thing from a very old how-to. Note it's for virtual accounts, so no /home directories. What's the more standard place to put them if I may ask? >> Does that make any sense?

Would it be OK to put everything in /var/spool/postfix on fast media or do only some directories benefit from the speed increase?
