I understand that you are actually doing from-to analysis: for
example, who sends mail to Yahoo that is getting stuck in the queue.
In that case, "qshape -s" (statistics by sender domain) could help.
(Assuming that there is a relationship between sender domain and
sender IP address).
Otherwise, a qshape option for stats by IP address might be an idea.
