Mailers which permit senders to give incomplete addresses in the
messages's headers that then get rewritten, e.g. getting

To: ph10@cus

rewritten as

To: ph10@???

after a DNS lookup also have to do all the routing before doing any of
the sending, in order that all recipients of the message get a copy with
the same headers in it.

That could be obtained by scanning Exim logs. Indeed, I will hack my
script and do so:

Today on this system:

7000 messages
maximum number of recipients in one envelope: 44
average number of recipients in one envelope: 1.0725

This is all E&OE on my hacked up scriptlet.
