I also feel that the structure makes it easy for a really large customer
to justify, as costs dwindle down to pennies/user, but kind of punishes a
small ISP where you're not seeing the "volume discount".  Not even a
"thanks for the DUL entries".  Perhaps they'll negotiate rates for smaller
companies on the side?  Otherwise, they're just driving "customers" to
brightmail.
