I'm not touching Zimbra if it requires me (which it probably doesn't) to spin up 8 hosts like you do. :)
I can happily run 10k+ Exchange 2010 mailboxes on two servers. If I was spinning up something that had to actually host mailboxes on a small-ish scale (and I didn't have a budget), I would do what Eric does and use Postfix/Dovecot/$the_newest_elite_webmail_solution. If I had a small budget and didn't already have an existing mailbox infrastructure, I'm more than likely going to outsource it (O365, Google or whatever).
