The PC I was thinking of using for this would be the same spec as the Mirapoint boxes (dual 2.8GHz P4, 2GB RAM, Lots of U320 RAID). I also wouldn't be using a single PC.

Thought so - but if you spend some time putting things together, you get more bang for your buck from postfix + courier + other stuff.

Scale horizontally - more cheaper boxes rather than fewer pieces of big iron. You'll be able to build something quite large that way.

As goes users, I honestly don't know how many hide behind those domains, but around 8-10m mails a day at present are hitting this system

Should be quite doable.
