Sounds like a nice system to me.  

If you have webmail I really don't see a need for pop3 or Imap on the internal side, but maybe I'm just new fashioned.  I haven't used anything but webmail in over a year now.  Disk space for the mail store must be considered, but now days most users expect their mail to be backed up on the server anyway. 

I really like ReiserFS, but you can screw it up as I have found out, but I have never had a system screw it up and I was having some hardware problems and had to power off my system several times and it has never effected anything.  Trying to rebiuld the filesystem from the journal to recover a file I deleted by accident, now that can screw things up.

What are you trying to do with your scalable replication system?  Sounds like fun.
