being "fast" enough to parse that many emails.

I have no definitive experience with something on this scale but I am
sure someone on the Perl group does.

5000 emails per day, that's 17 seconds per message. You can do a lot
of parsing in 17 seconds, even in Perl.

That is what I was thinking, even if it was an 8 hour business day that
is still 5 seconds per message. Granted I don't know if that is a
steady influx or a deluge.
