AIX 4.3.3 on an IBM B/80, 4 processor, 1 gig of memory,
and lots and lots of RAIDed SSA disks.  But, we are
planning on shifting SMTP services to a cluster of Redhat
Linux 7.2 (or 3) machines.

We run sendmail 8.12, MIMEDefang 2.3.  (Updating on a
live server is tricky enough, that it will likely wait until the
linux cluster is available.)

90,000.  About 12% are rejected by sendmail based on
the check_* rules.  The remainder are filtered through
MIMEDefang+Sophos.

We are keeping up with the load, but growth will require
POP and SMTP be separated.
