Well, I don't want to rely on users. The reporting will be biased according 
to how busy they are. Anyway, I can see their mailboxes and count them 
myself, with much more reliable random sampling. I could even copy a random 
sample to another mailbox.

I really don't want to do that though. I was hoping someone might be able 
to point me at a statistical technique that I can apply through correlating 
deliveries and rejections, without examining individual messages.
