at 1.54M/day it's 562,100,000 emails per year at < 2K each (without calculating the files inode/fs journaling...)
562100000*2048 (2K = 1024b*2) = 115 1180 800 000/1024 = 1 124 200 000
... that's over a terabytes

Yes it was indeed a problem as it slowed the server down. But today everything has gone back to the normal few thousand spam emails per day. And Spamarrest downloads the emails every few minutes from my server, so HD space wouldn't become a problem. But anyway, I'll have to prevent my server from that crap in the future...
