Discovery Made

 * On Sunday March 23, 2008, Vitacus read on 2k5:

 Swiss Army Knife Quickswitch says, "Woah. DC's mailbox is full."

 Best Dudes Forever Abe? Monstereo says, "Full?"

 Swiss Army Knife Quickswitch says, "Yeah. Try sending him a @mail."

 Best Dudes Forever Abe? Monstereo says, "As in will not accept another @mail?"

 Swiss Army Knife Quickswitch says, "Yup."

 Best Dudes Forever Abe? Monstereo says, "Wow."

MAIL: DepthCharge's mailbox is full. Can't send.

 Best Dudes Forever Abe? Monstereo says, "Wow. Dude needs to check it and clean it out. :p"

 Best Dudes Forever Abe? Monstereo says, "Orrrrr...."

 Best Dudes Forever Abe? Monstereo gets into a convertable and grabs a baseball bat.

 Swiss Army Knife Quickswitch says, "I wonder how full is full? I've had a lot of @mails before."

 Best Dudes Forever Abe? Monstereo says, "Could always run an experiemnt, keep sending @mails to yourself"

 Swiss Army Knife Quickswitch says, "Or you. >:)"

I stopped at that point, not feeling driven enough to keep going. I did not stop due to any code preventing me to continue.
 * So that is what I did. I ended up @mailing myself 120 times, leaving a total of 127 @mails.


 * Fortunately, later that same afternoon, Scrapper, an admin at 2k5, logged on and was available to answer the question:

You paged Scrapper with 'What is the limit of @mails someone can recieve?'

Scrapper (Excise) pages: Different for every MUSH. Probably around 300 or something.

From afar, Scrapper (Excise) checks the config files. 300, yeah.


 * So there you have it. 300.

Lessons learned:

Depthcharge is a mail packrat.

He needs to clean out his mailbox. 300, holy cow.

Depthcharge is popular as an @mail recipient.

The @mailbox limit is ridiculously high. Yay for a nice big safety buffer number.

Vitacus aka Monstereo had too much time on his hands this day, but is a QUITTER deep down. It's scientific.
