With regards to SmarterMail, ensure that you have at least 1GB of RAM if you plan on hosting a lot of domains. We host about 3500 domains on one SM server, and the process itself takes up about 200MB of ram, and IIS takes up another 100-200MB for the webmail. However, aside from that, SmarterMail seems to be much more efficient and uses considerably less CPU than iMail.

For example, would dual Xeons be that much better than a single P4 at a higher frequency? Also, I wonder whether the answer would be different for SmarterMail? We're using IMail, but I'm just curious if the same logic would apply to SmarterMail?
