“A seven-fold increase in constituent e-mail has created a
bottleneck for the Senate e-mail server.”
“… e-mail volume on the Senate server has jumped from an
average of 70,000 a day to 500,000 a day, according to the Senate
Computer Center.”
“… part of the problem is that much of the e-mail has to be
translated from the standard Internet format to the proprietary CC
mail format used by Lotus Notes.”
