Jesus, keep your hair on.

The whole UK network will not grind to a halt. The *vast* majority of email traffic is already logged either on sending (most people use either a web-based mail system or send through their ISP's smarthost) or receipt (again, web-based mail or POP3 from their ISP's mail servers). The only differences are the redirection of mail not currently relayed and an extension of the log retention period. Big deal, not.
