About 700

>How many local-parts per domain?


Between 2 (yes, 2, not 2000) and 11000 users. (And yes, their current
system DOES dump everything into two control files)

>Are the lists of local-parts in fact identical for all domains?


No, completey unique (Of course the same name/email MAY appear in many
domains).

To be perfectly honest, if I could help them out without having to spend
hours fixing code to make their megalist into something that my
exim-environment can easily digest, I'll simply not offer up my
environment as an intermediate solution. Then again, it may be easier to
drop everything into a mySQL-database, because then I would only have to
maintain one data source.

>How many lookups a second do you expect?


Just over a million mail per 24hrs.

>How often do the lists change?


Truthfully, not very often, I think less than 50 changes/day.

>Where do the lists come from?


Generated by a "black box" solution on their current infrastructure.
Dumped into a directory where it may be fetched with FTP.
