I have some co-workers that are writing an email parser (not sure of

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.

SpamAssassin is written in Pure Perl AFAIK, and 5,000 emails sound like
peanuts to me.
