I only received one answer, still it provides insight that is worth sharing. All filesystem I/O is done via paging, so you can pretty much ignore page ins / outs. The fields to page attention to in vmstat output are the r (should be less than 4 per CPU), b (should be 0), sr (should be 0 under Solaris 8, less than 273 on Solaris 7 and earlier), us (should be < 60%), sy (should be < than 30%), and id (should be > 10%). Since this is evidently a mail server, I'd highly recommend you pay close attention to I/O performance with iostat (look for disks more than 50% busy and / or service times > 30 ms). HTH...
