It's Compaq DL-360, which have only two disks. I don't see the benefit to
have the spool files on the same Array but in on a different partition.
Makes this really a difference?

When a partition has X amt of used space plus X+ amt of free space, the defragging is much faster and more complete. Of course, a spool partition should be nearly always empty as the msgs transit the partition briefly.

Same is true of any partition, eg, the mail store partitions.

Another advantage of having an IMGate type of MX/outbound gateway ( vs trying to do everything on one box) is that the Imail outbound msgs are always delivered in a couple seconds to IMGate, which does all its own DNS lookups+timeouts, plus SMTP delivery attempts, + timeouts, + deferrals/re-tries, and has much superior logging than Imail.
