I would agree thats too much for today. However, he said it must last for five years. Two years ago we were blocking only 10K messages as SPAM. Now we are blocking well over 2.5 Million. The only point I am getting at is that who knows how bad this situation is going to be be in 5 years.. Get as much HW as you can get today especially if you have to make it last for years to come.
