You don't say anything about the number of users / volume of mail. This
would be useful to know before recommending a configuration. One other
question I like to ask is how critical email is to your business. Can you
take a four hour hit or a day without email? 

We have some customers for whom business (and the money) stops or come to a
crawl when email stops.
