Well, it's not that uncommon to have 100,000+ mailboxes. Surely 1% being restricted isn't an unreasonable estimate?
For something important as mail traffic I wouldn't use SQL at all. If I can't open a database (some sort of error), my entire mailfunction is limping and I don't like that at all... Sorry, my personal opinion.
Which is why, if your mail is really that important, you get a proper cluster of database servers. A text file is *not* going to scale to any sort of real volume.
