Yes. Junping handles I would say well north of 30 million.
30 million mail accounts just means storage is on a NAS or SAN, with 30
million accounts, based on my previous experience, you could average
that into about 40 smtp servers - since each server can handle 2K plus
conns (incl virus/spam detection) and not everybody sends out mail at
the same precise second, to go beyond mx999.domain would mean more than
1000 boxes, if they need that many, they are doing something wrong, but
they could alter it with letters, ever wondered why google dont do it
that way? because they have a smart enough team to know what happens if
they do :)
