What kind of users? Some users will get a few mails a day, others
thousands. If they are similar to your existing users you'll just
get a few hundred thousand mails per day (~3-9/sec depending on how
they are distributed).
SpamAssassin and anti-virus scanning takes vastly more resources than
doing the smtp, so those are more likely to be your bottlenecks.
For some users the total load has actually been *less* than with
qmail because qpsmtpd would filter more of the mail before it came to
SA and virus processing.
