I got the answer back from A&A. If I receive or send 10000+ emails a
month, it will be £120/month.
I worked out the lkml alone is on average about 15000 emails a month.
I also watch other ones, like the wine developer ones, and that would
add about another 7000.
Bandwidth wise, it accounts for about 1Gb a year.
