Richard, here's the EXPLAIN ANALYZE. I see your point re: the 2.7M
expected vs the 2 actual, but I've run ANALYZE on the lead table and it
hasn't changed the plan. Suggestions?

"Hash Join (cost=62.13..2001702.55 rows=2711552 width=20) (actual
time=40.659..244709.315 rows=2 125270 loops=1)" " Hash Cond:
("outer".mailing_id = "inner".mailing_id)" " -> Seq Scan on lead l
