Long ago, I used to run Microsoft Mail Server (stupid corporate standard) 
on a Mac 6100 with a 250MB hard drive for 300 lusers.  It was great for 
keeping mailbox sizes down.  The best part, was that since mgmt wouldn't 
buy more storage, every month I got to purge old e-mail.  Man, that was
satifying.
