OC-12 is 622 Mbps, or roughly 60 MBps. Say sending a 1k message with
SMTP uses 3k bandwidth--that's generous. Dividing 60 MBps by 3k yields
20000 messages per second (1.7 billion messages/day).
Even if they only have a T1 (1544 Kbps, ~150 KBps), they could do 50
messages/second (4.3 million messages/day).
Network bandwidth is *not* going to be their bottleneck.
