After you posted this, I thought I might have been the one who misread
J. Trevor Hughes' post, but here it is (from
http://www.imc.org/ietf-mxcomp/mail-archive/msg04055.html):
I write as the executive director of the Email Service Provider
Coalition (ESPC). The ESPC is a trade association made up of 54
email service providers. We estimate that our members provide
delivery services to over 250,000 senders in the US alone. And
according to Ironport?s SenderBase, our members deliver
approximately 12% of all email.
The 250,000 number clearly refers to the US based senders. But the
12% seems to be referring to 'all' email.
In my experience, 'all' means 'usa' for most US occupants. Even so, it's
disconcerning that this group is pro sender-id. Perhaps we should also
form a Coalition, so we can claim 'all open source proponents world
wide, who account for x% of all email' where x>12 :)
