Subject: [Q] Sending several messages
Hi all

I'm using Exim 1.62 set up as a dial up host and I have queue_smtp in
my configure file and do a sendmail -qf when I connect, to send off the
mail. I'm also set up to deliver direct with a fallback smarthost
just in case.

If I have several different messages to send out for different
destinations and say the first is taking a while to set up, all the
others are held up until this one finishes. I'm guessing that if
several messages/destinations have delays, then the delays add
consecutively. Is there any way to parallel up the deliveries so as
to reduce the connect time, and my phone bill :-) - does
remote_max_parallel do this, although I read it as only relevant to
the *same* message to different hosts as opposed to *different*
messages to different hosts.

One other question, is there any advantage to using queue_smtp over
queue_remote in my situation as a dial up host?

Regards, Matt.
