One of the biggest problems in the research of the communication anonymity
systems is missing real-world data. Large number of results related to anonymity
systems assumes that use behaviour can be described with simple probabilistic
models. This paper shows some basic interesting characteristics of email
communication we have identified in a log of SMTP traffic and demonstrates that
user behaviour cannot be easily described with simple models. Basic properties of
existing social networks are described. We analyse the traffic from the two main
viewpoints: intra-domain and complete communication. We created subsets of
communication within university faculties to analyse social networks as we have
all the traffic that took place in these domains. The second viewpoint is
represented with an analysis of all traffic initiated by users from these email
domains.
