To clarify - the first server handles 700 domains and the second 250. The first is only handling virus and spam filtering for incoming email while the second is doing that plus pop3 and outgoing mail.
The first is also SCSI which seems to help alot - especially for qmail. Oh, also in both machines we use MySQL per-user spam preferences which puts another big load on the servers.

I saw nothing in his post to suggest he balanced load, or even that the two servers were serving the same domains.
I just took it at face value that with 3.0.1 they couldn't keep up, but falling back to 2.64 he could carry the load.
