That could be your problem there.
Honestly I don't know anyone that uses ext2 again.
http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-10/jfs_01.html -> explains stuff better
than I can
You could try the ext3.
ReiserFS and XFS and JFS are better, depending on your situation.
ReiserFS is good at small files, and given you're running a mail server,
I'll take a good guess that 95% of your emails are going to be just
txt/html flying back and forth, occasional files attached.
It'll mean some downtime to go to reiserfs, ext3 will be less downtime.
Either should help you out a lot.
And make a backup and verify it before you attempt anything :)
