7 Email throughput is highly dependent on how you're generating the
8 emails, RAM, disk I/O, number of emails sitting in your queue, how
9 you've ordered your emails, whether bounce handling is local or on
10 another server, spam filtering if any, and your server software. Even
11 the speed of your DNS server can start to play a part.

13 30/sec puts you a bit above 2.5 million a day which is probably the top
14 end of what you might see in the real world.
