        One million ain't much by today's standards.  That gets lost in
        the noise at any of the bigger providers.  I'd question whether
        that gives you a sufficiently wide sample.

        (I'm also surprised you need 300 servers to handle such a small
        load -- what is that, ~3333 messages per server per day?)

        Sure!  It's a great idea...but if you could get every site in
        the world to cooperate on ANY great idea, we'd be way ahead.
