Let's say Yahoo has 40 million email accounts (that's probably pretty

users -- and I'd guess their methodology doesn't include the spammers).
However, there are very few providers at an order of magnitude more
than your estimate -- there are a few more in the same.
I don't think it changes your point (just the example org), however,
I'd be surprised if there are organizations that add or subtract 100s
of thousands or millions of A records on a more than daily basis.
