40M of traffic, not storing.
Hm, yes, that could be a problem, I didn't think about this ...

I wanted to make a comparison.
I'm receiving every day few digests with my 33.3k modem. One of the
biggest is from hardware@os2ss.com.
Comparing this *daily* relative big traffic with *once_a_month* an
overhead of about 130k pure nothing, is, in my opinion, tolerable.

To be avoided, of course, but if it happens, don't shoot the sender
from its first attempt ...
