On any large number of users some kind of hash is used to distribute email
storage across multiple nodes.

Oh that's the obvious answer I didn't think of (but everyone else was

respectable SATA/RAID.
Just FYI, proxy won't help you whe one of the storage hosts fails.
We have used NFS cluster because of that.
Mails were processed locally, only delivered to the NFS storage.
Having queue on NFS would not be very efficient but would be safe against
outage of host with postfix.
However, this is off-topic in this queue. hopefully proposed solutions will
be enough for you, good luck.
