On this subject, are there plans to implement some sort of connection
reusing thing? Sendmail seems to do somewhat better delivering mail to
"difficult" sites because once it gets a good SMTP session going it can
stuff all the mail for that site through. I admit that I don't know
enough about the level of communication between qmgr and smtp to know if
this is possible, but I think it would be a great feature nonetheless.
