It's hard to come up with numbers if you just say "active", but I'll take
a stab at it.
Generally, qmail doesn't require a whole lot of resources. A qmail server
running on a simple Pentium 166 with an IDE disk can easily handle
100,000 messages a day. If you get up into the millions of messages a day,
you'll probably want to look at tuning qmail appropriately, running the
queue on it's own fast SCSI disk, putting logs on a separate disk, etc.
