Quasi-operational re. Exim

In light of the recent thread about a carrier-class mail server, and
since I don't have the
address of the mailing list mentioned there, I was wondering how people
felt about Exim.

I apologize in advance to those NANOG readers who are going to yell at
me about
operational content, but I couldn't come up with a better mailing list
to send this to.

I've installed Exim. I like what I've seen so far. Robust, lots of
features... and I was
mightily impressed when my out-of-the-box RPM installation passed all of
abuse.net's
spam relay tests.

So... Can Exim handle large queues, and delivery to tens of thousands of
mailboxes?
(I'm not at the point where I'd need that kind of scalability yet, but I
don't want to have
to switch mail servers any time soon.)
