Then I'm sure you'll have no problem answering my questions---and, in
particular, explaining how a 14.4k modem running at 40% capacity would
make your system ``crawl to a halt.''

You didn't answer my question about total volume.
5000 normal subscribers at 2K per message and 140 messages/week, plus
45000 digest subscribers at 15K per message and 10 messages/week, would
add up to more than 1GB of data per day.
What are the actual numbers for your list, Chuq?
Apparently you're handling a few megabytes of error messages per day
right now. How many messages is that? How much disk I/O? How much CPU
time?
What would be the _actual_ difference in disk load and CPU load if you
received 10 times as many bounces? You claimed ``crawl to a halt.'' Do
you have numbers to back this up?
