We do our own in-house still, have since the beginning of time. Currently, we have ~10,000 mailboxes. Normally they're $1 per mailbox with 1GB quota. For a 10GB quota, they gotta pay for our spam filter (another $1/mon), that way I know it’s not going to get full of just spam. I have two backend ZFS servers that have plenty of storage I/O and live mailbox syncing between each other. Once the operation is fine tuned and you have built in redundancy, it’s pretty painless and no real headaches. Well, at least that’s what I’m seeing.
