Depends on the echomail area. 65k is not that many messages in a busy echo. If you archived all messages from the 80s/90s until today in an echo, there might be a lot more than 65k.

I don't believe it is a lot of dupes. FSX_GEN hit 2**16 messages sometimes in fall 2019 IIRC. The last 12 month we had around 14000 messages in FSX_GEN and my impression was that traffic went a bit down (after the no-poltics rule).

Anyway, more then 65k can happen.
