Many people are now putting e-mail security devices in front of the "receivers".
Products such as Ironport, Openwave Edge Gx, and Symantec Mail Security Security use technologies such as traffic shaping, reputation services, directory harvest attack detection, etc. to help keep spam out of your network.
If you are intererested in commercial packages, either Sun's Java System Messaging Server or Openwave's Mx product will easily scale to a million accounts and beyond. Many of the larger ISPs are using these packages or have their own custom mail server. Other possibilities may be Mirapoint(who offers an appliance type solution) or Sendmail.com
If you are into benchmarks, the folks at SPEC have published results from several packages.
Brightmail provides advanced message management solutions that enable ISPs, ASPs, wireless service providers, Internet portals and enterprises to protect the integrity, efficiency, security and usability of their email systems. Through Mailwall(TM) protection, the Brightmail Solution Suite pairs server-based filtering and around-the-clock support and analysis to prevent email-borne threats.
