3027 subscribers
2481 separate domains.

It used to get help from fanout servers, none are in use anymore.
Vger's load-average is around 0.0 - 0.1, nevertheless ;)
Picking one address only present at linux-kernel, and counting
some days backwards with logs (these include also retries,
which often to the choses sample destination are 0):
/var/log/maillog.1
232
/var/log/maillog.2
259
/var/log/maillog.3
139
/var/log/maillog.4
102
/var/log/maillog.5
148
/var/log/maillog.6
216
/var/log/maillog.7
240
So, 100 to 260 messages per day during the past week of rotated
logs.
Total daily traffic counts of successfull sends are:
(Each recipient address, not only domain, gets its own syslog line)
/var/log/maillog.1
719616
/var/log/maillog.2
812118
/var/log/maillog.3
429046
/var/log/maillog.4
316667
/var/log/maillog.5
460353
/var/log/maillog.6
669020
/var/log/maillog.7
752678
And the grand-totals of SMTP delivery attempts:
/var/log/maillog.1
725514
/var/log/maillog.2
821661
/var/log/maillog.3
438685
/var/log/maillog.4
322529
/var/log/maillog.5
466632
/var/log/maillog.6
676869
/var/log/maillog.7
757461
So, yesterday linux-kernel traffic represented 97.6% of all
traffic at VGER. On day number 4 - also 97.5% ...
The share of failed delivery attempts (retries, etc) hovers
around 1-2 percent of all.
(I did spot calculations, others may want to do some
spread-sheeting.)
