The limits on the store are fairly high, like 70gb for Exchange 2003 Standard. (IIRC). At one former employer, they allowed the C-class to have basically limitless mailboxes. Warning and Send limits (at 2gb), but no cap on receive. Using Mailbox management, to clear deleted Items folders, and very old mail (keep REALLY old mail in PSTs and/or archive to CD) can typically keep the server below the 70gb limits.
It's the Exchange Admin and the hardware that impose the only limits here.
