Here are the test results that I said I would run.
I sent this command and a test message :( to the list at the same time
to get a ACK number.
QUERY xxx WITH MAIL FOR *@* answer = 501
QUERY xxx WITH DIGEST FOR *@* answer = 160
query xxx with nomail for *@* answer = 31
query xxx with conceal for *@* answer = 4
rev xxx (noheader short answer = 692
688 + 4 concealed
So Mail + digest = 661
ACK showed = 660 ??????? maybe we had someone subscribe in
the middle of the test.
mail + digest + nomail = 692
REVIEW Short command =692 (688 + 4 concealed)
So it looks to me as if the ACK is a fairly accurate number for the
messages being sent out to subscribers. But it also seems that there
is no way to get that figure except for the ACK report.
