I've just rolled out a new mail platform that's running Ubuntu Dapper 
(6.06) server install as base OS.  We intend to migrate a few million 
mailboxes onto this platform in the next few months.

Some of the reasons for going with Ubuntu:

- Good package management help keeps machines up to date
- Regular 6 monthly release cycle
- Commercial support available if required.

We've also already migrated our primary and slave MySQL databases onto 
Ubuntu Breezy, and will shortly be moving our entire web hosting 
platform onto Ubuntu Dapper as well.
