Well, we're not running 5.x, were running 4.10. And ive been using MFS
filesystems on very very veeery busy news servers with no problems.
Ive done tests with seek speeds between disksetups (raid0/1/5) and MFS,
and MFS was factors faster because you dont need to move spindles.

Granted, mimedefang isnt seeking that much on it's tmp dir, so I think
normal fs is probably fast enough, but im fairly sure it wont hurt.
