That is very good news.
I will do some testing, but I am leaning towards trying between
50 and 100 SMTP agents.

Ours are also dynamically generated.
We control the program that submits the emails. Will it help if
we put a small pause every 100 or 1000 emails? What pause would
help? Is there even a way to measure this? (i.e. messages in
que so I can see how well we are keeping up with the program
sending the emails).
