Sorry sent it before I was done:

RCPT commands
This is the number of RCPT commands sent by the IP during the time period
in question.  RCPT commands are part of the SMTP protocol
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt> used to send mail, specifically that
which specifies one's intent to send mail to the provided recipient.  That
is, the command "RCPT TO:<exam...@hotmail.com>" requests Outlook.com's
servers to respond with whether it will accept mail for exam...@hotmail.com,
information which is invaluable to spammers trying to compile recipient
lists for future spamming.  For reference, more than a third of IPs sending
mail to Outlook.com keep the fraction of RCPT commands that don't result in
message recipients under 10% and that is a good benchmark to measure
against.

DATA commands
The number of DATA commands sent by the IP during the activity period.
DATA commands are part of the SMTP protocol
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt> used to send mail, specifically that
part which actually transmits the message to the previously established
intended recipient(s).

Message recipients
This is the number of recipients on messages actually transmitted by the
IP.  With well-behaved mailers, there is often a small difference (a few
percent) between the number of RCPT commands and this number, due to
accounts becoming inactive and other such anomalies.  A large discrepancy
however can indicate problems with the sender, such as out of date
recipient lists or namespace mining, both of which are commonly associated
with spamming.  Please note that if you find this number is larger than the
reported number of RCPT commands by a small amount, it is most likely due
to a specific and well-understood anomaly in our systems which record this
data and should be no cause for concern.
