Does this have to be a POP3 solution or are you trying to build a
web-enabled mail solution? If it's the latter, you may have to build a
database-driven system that takes inbound SMTP traffic and routes it into a
record in the database with attachments being converted either to BLOB
elements or files in a large file system. This way you can scale
tremendously and keep the performance levels high. Most mail servers aren't
really optimized for speed, especially when large numbers of users are
pulling information from the system. I've seen this done but on a smaller
scale and it works very well. If, however, you require a POP3-based
solution, you may end up having to split the domain into several mail
servers ... a task that can be done but isn't always fun.

Does anyone know of any email servers that will scale to several million
mailboxes (about 3-5 million)?
Thanks
Steve
