I am running Debian 3.0 on one mail server with 3,000+ mailboxes using Postfix/Procmail/IMP/MySQL/qpopper/Apache. And I have very low cpu/mem usages. And it is a single proc PIII-500 with 256MB of ram. And it works great.
I agree with the other posts that qpopper is a dog, but I don't such a performance degrade that it is worth changing this far in the game.
