Richter scale on email volume
SenderBase Network sets up a global email traffic monitoring network. In quantifying email volume, the Richter scale used to measure earthquakes is applied to message volume calculated using a log scale with a base of 10. The maximum theoretical value of the scale is set to 10, which equates to 100% of the world's email message volume (approximately 10 billion messages/day).
By checking the IP address of our company's outgoing mail server, our Richter magnitude is 1.9. This can be translated to 7900 outbound email messages per day. Hey....., this is a rather interesting concept.
