What is mtaReceivedRecipients?
This counter tracks the total number of recipients specified across all messages received since the mail transfer agent was initialized, counting only recipients this MTA is actually responsible for. Admins use it to distinguish recipient-count-based load (e.g. one message fanned out to hundreds of recipients) from raw message counts. A high recipient count relative to mtaReceivedMessages would flag heavy use of mailing lists or distribution groups.
