Once upon a time a slight mis-configuration at an unnamed customer site resulted in the AR 5.6 EE sending just over 625,000 emails in the span of about 8 hours. It never even broke a sweat as far as I can tell.

It usually works extremely well but once in a while, which typically is once a year, it just stops and we have to restart the email engine. I have one mailbox that gets tons of mail so we poll that one every 2 mins, but the rest get polled at staggered intervals-some 5 mins, some 11 mins, some twice a day. Depends on what the mailbox will contain. The only problem that we have had that we have never gotten an answer for is why one mailbox will get passed over and not polled. I turn on the debug log and I can see the login, the retrieve, then the delete of the mail on all the other mailboxes. And I'll see it pass right over a mailbox and not poll it at all. Still don't know why that happens. We started using this on version 5.12, upgraded everything to 6.3 and are now on 7.1. We've come to rely on email tickets (I use filters on the email message form to create tickets based on the mailbox name) so when there is a problem someone notices right away. Hope this helps.

We are getting requests for some 20 more. At this point we are wondering about load and what the email engine can handle. Does anyone here have any experience/information about the type of load the email engine can handle before it becomes error prone or unreliable? For now we are starting to space out the amount of times the mailgoxes are being checked so that they are kind of staggered, but I was wondering if anyone had any load info or tips or tricks.
