dedicated server with a dedicated T1 per mailbox.)
Since you're an ISP, could you indicate roughly the numbers you are
talking about (per user if you like)? How many inbound raw mails per
day? How much total mail data (megabytes) per day? How much total
traffic of all types per day?
I don't know if the list already has discussed those kinds of numbers,
but I'd like to get an idea of the current order of magnitude of the
problem, from the provider's POV. If others have numbers to share for
ISPs, let's hear them too.
