LARGE single-system Cyrus installs?

[Jim Howell]

Hi,
    We have around 35k users spread out on 5 different systems.  The 
largest of which has 12K active users and 200K messages per day.  We do 
our anti-spam/anti-virus on other systems before delivering to the 5 
mailbox systems.  I'm guessing you don't have that type of setup?
