	We had much the same situation with our "business" SMTP server, 
handling roughly 40,000 120KB messages per day.  Of course, a smaller 
number of larger messages is easier to handle (less synchronous 
meta-data overhead), but on the other hand I had not yet configured 
the server to have a mail queue per domain.
