My question is, what is the biggest installation of dbmail in terms of
number of users, emails, or size in GB?
I just found this, and it looks good:

I have no idea what the biggest install out there is, but that email is
from 2+ years ago, and I can tell you that everything since then has
gotten better and faster. DBMail itself has made significant
performance improvements since then and so have the hardware, OS and
databases.
You need to consider how your users will use DBMail, for example a POP3
only setup I'm sure can handle a much larger number of users than an
IMAP only setup.
I personally run approx 100 users a mix of POP3 and IMAP with about 10G
of mail, PostgreSQL and a simple SATA software RAID under a single
processor linux setup with 1G of RAM, everything works great.
At the moment, I have the impression it could be a nice and neat server,
but the wiki documentation is not rich, the DB model does not include
customers (it's prepared at least), and there's no web adminstration
(there's DBMAIL Admin, but it's ugly). Sorry I don't want to piss on
anyone, just list my impressions. I'm sure you do your best, and it
looks good so far. I just would like to know how many (big)
installations there are, to get a feeling if dbmail is the right tool
for us.
True there's no web interface but the command line tools are easy once
you learn them. Also, I have tied my company application into the
DBMail database, so I automatically create new users from my own code.
Very easy, just a few SQL statements.
