I always like to configure servers with better specs than what I think I need so that it will handle additional load (if I forgot to factor in something or if I want to add something else down the line). As for users - you need to allow only enough space to hold their mail files - so just multiple the total space allowed times the number of users and that should be a decent estimate.

This server can be upgraded to 4xCPU and 16GB Mem Overkill? What about disk space reqs and bandwidth reqs for this number of users - is there any good formulas to find the numbers?
