without going into details that i shouldn't, i'm looking at the
rollout of a new consumer product with an email component which
represents only part of the load on the database.

this means, among other things, i'm looking at a hockey stick
sales curve and corresponding ramp in user base size. this
isn't going to be like your normal corporate or college email
plant. i'm still doing load testing with newly built servers,
trying to push things to destruct to see what it actually takes
to make them fall over, and yes, i can probably support a
multitude of users on a single well chosen system just for
inbound email, but that's only a small part of the equation.
