That's putting it mildly.  The count for yesterday:

That's *after* the Mirapoint front-ends got updated templates.  I'm rough
guessing another 1,000 got through to the Listserv machine and generated about
100K outbound messages, and I'm not sure how many bounced around our main mail
hub. The truly amazing thing is that we didn't have anything near an actual
meltdown.

And apparently there's a MYPARTY.B and .C on the loose - we had one get through
our Mirapoints earlier today.

Oh, the joys of trying to provide Really Good e-mail service to 60K mailboxes.
