the lsoft pages on lsmtp explain how to assess delivery rates.  e.g.
while the 98% mark might be 90 minutes the 90% mark might be 90 seconds.

i certainly hope the To: address is configurable.  i'm on a list that
has my address on the To: line and i rewrite it while filtering because
it's so annoying.  to say nothing of breaking a lot of (marginal) vacation
programs.

-------- In reply to:
If we crunch the numbers on this statement, we get:
10,725 messages per minute = 178 messages per second 

------------------

The To: address of every message is always the recipient's email
address, not the list name.  This makes it simple for the recipient
to determine what email address they are subscribed with.

     if the above contains opinions they are mine unless marked otherwise.
