If he's going to set this up for IMAP, then certainly putting /home onto a 
separate drive, not just a separate partition, will be very beneficial. 
This can enable him to do some pretty cool things, like using spamassassin 
and procmail to automatically filter out spam into seperate folders.

On my admittedly small setup, I also have scripts run that look for any 
messages in the user's home maildir "Missed Spam" folder and "Not Spam" 
folder.  In the "Missed Spam" folder, I have it automatically rescore the 
messages using sa-learn.  In the "Not Spam" folder, it's a bit trickier, but 
using formail along with spamassassin, I can reprocess false positives, 
strip the headers, and redeliver them appropriately.
