Our mailservers don't do anything but handle mail for a number of
domains. We have an average of 600 mails per hour (during the day). At
this moment we receive 20 mails a minute with a load of 0.25 (10% idle).
This is for one Intel/linux server (PIII 1GHz, 512MB)

Our helpdesk has never had any request for a saved file (yet).

Some more statistics:
We have 2 identical server (mx1 and mx2) running Suse linux 7.3.
We have 121 aliases (mainly listexpansion) and over 8500 virtual users
with mailboxes on other systems.
We have almost 160 virtual domains.
At the moment we have 90 domains in domains.to.scan.conf. Those 90
domains count for 8000 of the virtual users.
