Thanks for that.
I stand corrected on the math, but am more convinced than ever of the
conclusion. Too many shifts of 'statistics' from one post to the next.
The 'real' problems described appear to be largely unrelated to such
conventional sender-verify callouts as are occurring vs being blamed.
Further, available tools to manage/ameliorate deleterious effects of peak
loading *in general* have been disregarded in favor of a fixation on
"other people using my resources."
That 'comes with the territory', and whom among us has it any better?
