Hi,
we are providing Mail-Service (POP3, IMAP; either TLS or SSL) to 22000 students here at my university.
There are 2 machines running as active-passive cluster with DRBD to sync the maildata. Each box is a 4 core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5160 @ 3.00GHz with 8 gigs RAM.
After a tuneup for DRBD and upgrade to dovecot 1.1 average load is around 1.0.
