This then begs the question that if you have a mailer which is unhappy
with many recipients RCPT TO lines would be happy with muliple messages in
a single TCP session.
So if you handle this RCPT limit by chunking the message in several SMTP
enverlopes but within a single TCP connection will the server be happy or
die!!
