Hi,jdow,
I think you have misunderstood me.I'm not working for Netzero.In fact,our mail
systems' end-users numbers are more than a hundred million far away.We use SA
as part of our antispam mechanism.Certainly,it's not the original one written
with Perl.We disable the Bayes currently,and only use rules for
filters.While,we'll continuely to develop to support Bayes and more others
featers of SA.
We use network test too,so could reject most of the spams in front of SA.

Er, I just looked up on a size ranking from November 20th last year. NetZero
was set at 8,600,000 members. AOL is only 22,200,000 members. Do you mean
100,000,000 EMAILS PER DAY or something? That makes more sense and is maybe
somewhat low.
8600000 members * 1000 emails per member/day / 86400 seconds/day gives
10,000 emails a second. That's still a whomping load for only 30 MTAs,
300 or so emails a second when I get about 3 seconds per email throughput
at my low non-overlapping volume.
Of course you probably greylist first. And with a network average of 80%
spam that puts you down into the 60 emails a second range. It's still
an amazing push.
Is your version of SA still in perl or is it in machine language? I also
presume you optimized it for your needs. Does it still do Bayes and rules
or only one of them?

<mumble> The whole US internet seems to come out around 100,000,000
at the time of that survey. Of course, Hotmail is listed at 140,000
members. But there are some accounts that receive no mail so that
cuts them way down from what an ISP might run. (I have one I
abandoned as useless to me. When accounts cost money they get used
more.) {^_-}

Yes,we have more than 30 MTAs running the SA.While it's not the original SA,it
has been
improved by us for more better performance.

Jeff, if you are ever permitted to and are moved to describe that
installation sometime I'd be an avid reader. You must have an amazing
array of equipment involved in the filtering and email handling.
