3-4 Sun Netras should probably handle over 120 000 emails per day
without any problem and probably a lot more - that's about how many
messages we're handling at the moment on 3-4 Sun Ultra 1s!

I'd suggest doing something sensible with disk, though - I think you'd
need 3 SCSI disks (not slices!) to be sure of no contention (mirror
/var/spool across two of them and stick /var on the third)

Maybe if you told us how much traffic (and how large the messages
are?) we could come up with some suggested hardware requirements?
