Sendgrid announced their volumes for Black Friday and Cyber Monday:

How much is too much?

Likewise, most of the delivery folks I’ve spoken too today and over the weekend are saying there were no major problems.

For the spammer that has everything

Sales are everywhere on Black Friday, even in the spammer underground.
