I have a similar setup (though much, much, much smaller, appr. 35000 mailboxes). I have them split over two backend servers, and two frontend servers. Anti-spam and anti-virus is done on the backends (because we do that per mailbox).
-How many mailboxes do you run on one backend? -Do you have any anti-spam/virus running on them or is that done earlier? -Have you ever used perdition and if so, how does dovecot as a proxy compare to that? -Do you mind me asking these questions?
