Thanks for your reply, but knowing my usual mail traffic, this is not the
case. As I said, the only rule that could possibly multiply delivered counter
is "info" virtual expanding into a list of managers (currently 2).
But it seems unlikely it could produce 5-6x counter. 3x may be.

Doing some totals, and matching against per-message reports, it seems it is
counting both local and external mail as delivered, but there's no way to
separate the two.
I've counted 42 sent mails addresses (destinations) out of 342 "delivered".
Combining with 26 received... That's not helpful at all.
