Well I still get more than 20 per connection[1], but I suppose any
machine that's permanently connected will rarely get that many. Perhaps
if when you announce them on exim-announce you just mention anything
like this that will change behaviour. (Perhaps you did and I missed it
:-)
[1] lots of busy mailing lists + 10 connections from Demon per day =
a lot of messages per connection.
