I don't do stuff like this anymore since giving up stock options and
start ups for community colleges and group hugs on the Brixton
Frontline.[0] So you really need to talk to people on the relevant
lists. :-)
I would firstly look at where the bottleneck is on the current server,
probably I/O as it is going to be cheaper and simpler to fix that than
build a H/A clustering solution with all the pain and consultancy fees
that it will entail. :-)
However if you do have money and resources to burn, look at Postfix and
Linux Virtual Server. There are .debs for them both but this is not
going to be a trivial job have lots of fun.[1] ;-P
