Groups & Co.) does not discard, but reject those messages, and I doubt that they receive fewer or have bigger irons. Is there any data available on how many message are discarded daily? Rejection is a nice courtesy (well, sort of :-)), as it indicates to the user that the pipeline from his mail client to Wikimedia is working and gives him clear advice what he has to do to post to the mailing list. So I would appreciate changing this configuration as soon as the dumps are rede- signed :-).
