Actually, it is more than that.

There are 86400 seconds per day. Multiply that by 20 processes processing
mail equals 1,728,000 processing seconds per day. Divide that by say 350,000
messages and each message gets 4.9371 seconds of processing time per
message. Now, as long as the hardware can process it in under that time...
