We've been running SA for about a year on a mail server with around
24,000 mailboxes. Running RedHat, Sendmail. 

The server is a dual 1G P3 with 1Gig of ram. To load test, I first set
SA to check all inbound messages and assigned a default score of 50.

User preferences are stored in a mysql database and updated via a web
interface. Once a user logs in to the web interface, they can change the
score to default(5) and add whatever white/black list entries they want.
It's been a welcome addition to our user base. To date, just over 1500
clients have opted to use the tool and it tags over 15,000 messages per
day for those clients.

With a few minor changes to some of the rules, it's been a great
value-add for our clients.
