linux partitions

I want to install Redhat 9.0 on a P.C which we would like to act as a dial-up mail server on a network of about 6 computers.
It has a ram 259, HD 40G. The issue is that i want custom install it to fit the requirements of a mail server.
I have already partitioned root, /,var,usr and i want to know if the are any more i have to partition. I need names so that i can allocate it space.

You might create both a /tmp and a /home partition and if you haven't done so a swap partition usually equal to about twice your RAM.
