The number of email accounts is a false indicator. How many messages do you receive each day? What are your mesgs/sec statistics under normal load? How active is the webmail application? Could you be more specific about the disk/raid setup? I'm asking all these questions because I'm going to be replacing a mail server soon with 6000+ accounts receiving about 80K mesgs per day. I'm curious to hear about other setups and they loads they can sustain.
