This could be skewed a lot towards single recipients by having frequent senders with a qmail in their path, or towards multiple recipients by being in a company that uses a lot of departmental distribution-list addressing or people that join the same internet mailing lists. I'd guess that our mail is >50% group-addressed internally although it is much less than that coming in from the internet. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
