    Ashes to ashes, and DOS to DOS EAZNet - Eddie Fry was heard to say
    on or about Fri, Nov 21, 2003 at 17:24 :

    I only have about 300 - but we are niche market - only business
    accounts - and some are high traffic.

    Then there is a ton of spam directed to a website we have.

    I just checked of this instant [approx 20 minutes to 8PM EST]
    and starting the maillog at 1AM I have rejected 72601 email
    for bogus names at that domain. It's one of those names
    that comes up #1 on google based on it's name alone, and during the
    height of the dot.com craze the owner was offered $250,000 for the
    name. $10,000 cash and the rest in stock.

    I roll the maillog at 1AM and in the past week the biggest log
    came in at 433K lines. Many mail take 2 entries in the log but
    many dont. Each log runs 70-80MB day.

    Those logs are at least twice as large as they were just 6 months
    ago.

    Some of the clients move a LOT of mail daily.

    If I had 30,000 user like the ones I have now I'd figure on about
    250,000,000 emails daily :-)
