We do our own email too with linux and just upgraded some stuff for the same and similar issues. Old box: amd64x2 or phenom9500 with postfix/amavisdnew/clamav/spamassassin spamd/spamc. New box: phenom 1075t, postfix/clamsmtp/clamav/spamassassin spamd/spamc/usermin. A new seagate enterprise hard drive seems a lot better performing than old 120-250gig consumer seagate drives. ddr3 memory and the new processor absolutely blows the old stuff out of the water. going from 4-8 or 8-16gb ram makes a huge improvement in simultaneous mail flow. I think the new faster parts and clamsmtp instead of amavis have made a big difference. We actually run things over a couple boxes with perdition to divide the load by first letter of the customer username. Then we can migrate customers to new servers one or more letters at a time and add capacity as needed.
