You probably need multiple mailservers. Cruft comes in and
processing gets split between two (... three, four) sub-mailservers.
Surely, if you're supporting a thousand email accounts, you can afford
a couple of old PCs to deal with the mail. They just need to be
headless boxes with RAM and disk, and nothing but smtp running on
them.
If your boss complains, he's got his head in the sand. Any company
that can't afford a couple of PCs to deal with the current load of
cruft on the net probably shouldn't be doing mail.
