What is mtaStoredRecipients?
This gauge reports the total number of recipients specified across all messages currently stored in the mail transfer agent, counting only recipients this MTA is responsible for. Admins monitor it to see whether a growing message backlog also represents a growing recipient backlog, which matters for prioritizing delivery to large distribution lists. A high value here alongside a low mtaStoredMessages count would suggest a few large fan-out messages are stuck.
