Yes, very sure that I'm not a SPAMmer. Neither is my customer.
Some people just like to get information on certain subjects and sign up
for these newsletters. Problem is that the information is time sensitive
so everybody needs to get it at about the same time. At least on the
same day.
Of course the problem could be solved by having 20 boxes do it in
parallel. But where is the fun in that. Also rack space goes for
$1000/rack/month where these boxes live. No need to waste money just
because they could. After all, finding cost effective solutions is what
they pay us for.
