The conversion itself might not be a palatable affair, but I am fairly
sure exim would take the load.
exim was written at Cambrdige, and is used by cambridges mail servers.
Cambridge's mail servers support a student/lecturer population of about
15,000, and several hundred mailing lists, some of which are very large.
So I have reason to believe that exim is scalable...
Exim also has very simple virtual hosting.
