If that true then it is utter tosh, we have 40,000 customers on Postfix
and Maildirs and in the US we have 10x that number.  Inodes have never
been an issue with that system or with my own where I have around

Currently looking at Zimbra which has a good basic support for free and
seems to offer some nice "enterprise features" on a per seat license.
