Well, that could be difficult. Every setup and concepts are different.

Two years ago I set up a really big setup with incoming and outgoing
mails. The setup was done using several servers that are complete in
term of spam and virus scanning.

The biggest problem was that I had to use the old amavis settings in
ldap to decide which messages to accept with which spam level. Also all
other informations was is ldap. Internal the mails had to route
different depending on the address.

I liked that setup finally but not the "clerk thinking" that I found
there. (I don't know how to translate that from German to English. :-)
So I am not anymore in this institute but my mail solution is still
active and seems to scale great.

I would have done a talk for swiss mail-wg but Switch is a bit lame and
did not contact me anymore.

However, I still know the setup very well and could help you if you have
more detail questions. The setup is not real a secret as it is a
official university. I even had some help from here for the one ore
other implementation problem.

Regards
   Klaus
