Works OK for us (and a number of even larger ISPs using Maildirs).
Though we use NetApps for the file storage and they have a much better
system for storing large numbers of files in a directory, so it
doesn't get quadratically slower. Largest single FS we have at the
moment has about 3.5 million files in it; I don't know what the
largest number of files in a single directory is, but I've seen 10s of
thousands on occasion without problems. It works much better than a
large file per user and NFS file locking, which makes me shiver.
