Only 350MB right now, with 4997 mailboxes. These particular users
seem to keep relatively little mail on the server. The mail server
for Internex Online has 7533 mailboxes, but occupying 1.6GB. If I go
by those numbers, 100,000 users will require some 20GB of mail spool.
I'm going to play with procmail as a local delivery agent next, with
the mail spool split across multiple filesystems. :)
