Right, over a day it must be able to handle the 20 mio e-mails, but it 
should not be more than some minutes delayed. I'd prefer not having to 
block on any load, because that could lead to serious strange problems. 
Servers tend to behave strangely once the load increases too far, and I 
don't want the system to block - that's not quite correct: it must not 
block.

By throwing in lots of hardware. We have to do some serious tests for 
that, but I believe it's not too painful. I can tell more once I know 
more.
