Well, of the 5M, how many would be real emails? I handle over 1M on a quad xeon, but only a fraction of those are good.

On second thought, are mails being delivered locally or are you relaying to Exchange (or similar)?
It cannot possibly be used for local delivery. Do you have any idea what it takes to handle 5 million local deliveries daily?
I spent over three years managing a system that delivers more than 2 million emails and handles on average 200 million smtp transactions on a daily basis and you do not use a single box for this sort of thing.
Delivering 5 million emails daily with a single box has got to be an outgoing box. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
