Len,

My guess is it is an optimistic roundup for 1 message to 150K
addresses for sales purposes.

Here's the deal that says 150K -

Here's another one that says "well over 100K..." -

I am personally skeptical of these large rates on Windows platforms.
However, I have measured MS SMTP server delivering a few thousand
messages at the 500+ per minute rate. That was using envelope sending
with Perl BulkMail package where I had all the addresses sorted by
domains and was sending one envelope with a max of 50 recipients per
domain per message. I am just really doubtful that anything could be
much faster on Windows.

With all this talk of billions and trillions and googols we tend to
forget what big numbers really mean in real life situations.
