How long ago was that? I had the precise problem and had been told
that particular bug has been fixed. My problems were ~5 years ago.
Except that I'm never going to use it anyway because I just can't
force myself to trust it. I've used Postfix under ext3, ffs(openbsd),
ufs(solaris) and never had a single problem with any of them. ext3
gets the bonus for being (I think) the only one of those to be
journaled.
I suggest using the simplest file system that gets the job done,
keeping in mind that Postfix presents a write-mostly load that is
dominated by metadata. FLASH memory drives are beginning to look
more and more attractive.
BTW Solaris UFS has had journaling support as of Solaris 7.

Yes it has, and its quite solid now, on Solaris 10 I would go for ZFS,
if you want options
for Solaris there is QFS (expensive) and VxFS (free up to four filesystems)
