Simplying sending and receiving mail isn't CPU-intensive. Sendmail slows down because of blocking on disk IO... using a faster CPU just means it has that many more clock cycles to waste doing nothing. ;-) For a large mailserver, you need maildir. Mbox stinks. :-) Use Postfix (my favorite) or qmail. A fast drive array is your friend. Content-scanning services, such as spam filtering or AV, are what will increase the need for CPU and/or memory. For reliability purposes, more than one machine would be a good idea...
