I have a question in relation to Storage and I/O. Our users receive about 900 emails a day. Most of the 900 emails are sent to a distribution list that the users are members of. You can imagine how disappiointed I am to see SIS change! How is a message sent to a distribution list procesessed? Assume the users are spit between 2 Storage Groups (one database per SG). Does the message get written once to each log, then to each database, or does it get written once PER USER on the DL? I would think that would make a significant difference in disk i/o.
