Not because of security, but because of stability, you might
thing of putting /var/mail and/or spool-directries as extra
partitions to avoid overruns rendiering the system unusable.
If allowing imap/pop without ssl, you might either seperate postfix
and imap/pop in some extra account-managment, or make the accounts
unuseable otherwise (i.e. no shell, no procmail etc)
