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.
