Unfortunately that's not in the budget now.

This one is a complete Store and Forward gateway.  No local boxes at
all, no POP3,Webmail,IMAP,etc.

Check back in the thread on my exchanges with Kami.  Looks like the
most optimum solution is put OS/Programs/PageFile partitions on the
RAID1 array and put the spool on a single disk.  If the single disk
fails we can quickly move the spool folder to a reserved 1G partition
on the RAID1 for a day or so until we get next business day warranty
replacement of the failed drive.

This setup accomplishes redundancy for everything that takes a long
time to reinstall/setup - OS/Imail and still leaves the spool folder
on a fast drive with a good backup plan.
