I think Julian (who will no doubt speak for himself :-) has got about
1.2 milliona messages a day with a 2x Xeon 2.something gib and 3gb ram.

It's on the archives, so a quick search there should help.

Also possible to use mutliple machines in a shared arrangement so it
copes with machines going down as well.. (using equal MX values).
