Use a good filesystem like ReiserFS or XFS and that should let you
handle the emails ok (assuming that you are talking about using
maildirs).

Another thing to consider: Cyrus IMAP. Last I checked, it didn't do
virtual domains, but it can handle most anything you need and will
probably be faster than other IMAP implementations. Also, it has a
built in filter language called Sieve and built-in filter update
protocol that, it looks like, the Evolution hackers seem to be
working. Search "+site:www.mail-archive.com evolution sieve" on
Google.

Mark.
