Hi Stephane,We have around 40000 mailboxes and I run SpamAssassin on the gateway. Users have no control over the settings, but then we don't block any email either. Currently we just insert the headers, so we can take a look at what gets marked as spam & what doesn't.

I would be interested in knowing if there is a similar large company (>I don't work for a company and we don't have as many mailboxes as you do,
5000 mailboxes) having successfully implemented spamassassin in order to
share the experience -- we had a successful pilot running and would like
to go live in one month.
but maybe this is still helpful for you.
I live at a student hostel and (among others) adminitrate the servers. Our
current general-purpose handyman server is a 400 MHz Celeron with 384 MB of
memory. It's got several databases, our websites (user webspace and
administration), FTP, mail and is also our user application server. So as
you can imagine, the machine is quite busy.
I installed SA about 5 weeks ago, expecting it to increase the load, but
even with >6000 incoming mails a day I didn't see any change. I have to say
I'm quite pleased with the performance of the spamd/SA/procmail chain.
From looking at my mailbox, it's close to a 100% catch for spam, and I haven't found one yet that was a false positive. This is with 2.43 and a couple of extra rules for some stuff that got through my home setup.
Incoming mail runs on a 4 way RS6k H80 with 8GB memory and about 50GB of disk . It';s a gateway only, no user mail exists on the gateway. Typically it runs at around 50% utilisation. Peaks at 100%, but only for short bursts. The disk is all SSA 160 with a raid-5 config and writecache on the raid controller.
