The qmail-server I built recently has been benchmarked at 2-3million a day,
with a stock redhat 1000fd kernel (it's on their ftp-site as an rpm).
concurrencylocal/remote are both 255, machine hums along nicely.
Most critical factor besides fd's is probably memory, and perhaps CPU.
I think I had 512mbyte in this one and something along the lines of a
PII-450.
