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.
