<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">For example, here, postfix is around 1.9k per transaction, that's logging connection, amavis stuff, processing and delivery, gzipped that's about 620 bytes per transaction, now, crazy over estimation, lets say someone does 10 million email transactions a day, over two years, that would still work out to be not much more than the average kids music collection - less than 200 GB and fits on the smallest of drives that can be picked up for like 60 bucks, so raid 1 it, wow thats a massive (NOT) 120 bucks worth of storage to retain Email logs.</span></p>
