Depends a lot on your email server software. We run Exim with spamassassin, amivis, clamscan, and courier imapd. For webmail squirrelmail is nice, but so is Neomail. It's a whitebox running a tyan motherboard and dual AMD procs with 512Mb Ram. We run it with RAID 1 with SCSI drives. It handles about 2200 email accounts includeing the spam and anti-viral scanning and doesn't ever top out over .25 We also had a client's exchange server runnning on the same type of hardware with around 1000 clients, and it kept the box very busy (%50 proc utilization and very little free RAM).
