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 agree Bill. We have about 1200 customers and we are FILTERING over > 30k/day. So we probably receive 35k. 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 :-) Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
