Philip,

1/100000 is a *ratio* and it thus not depends on how many e-mails you send
out per day, week, or month. And please consider that the ratio you
mentioned -- and which Sandy used -- came from you and it is not readily
obvious that it came from actual measurements. In any case, it's an
exceedingly small proportion given the number of broken mail servers out
there.

And then you replied with a subsequent posting. I'm afraid that this will
not win you many friends on this list, not mentioning your statements that
no one truly understands your particular set up (we are not mind readers who
can intuit peculiarities that you do not mention beforehand), and then
whining about it. Please either drop the matter or reformulate it in a
manner that is professional and receptive to the suggestions that the
experts take the time to provide. Just try it; it might work.
