(1) Timeouts for SMTP delivery are all defined in the smtp transport. The
defaults are in accordance with the recommendations in RFC 821.
(2) If you set remote_max_parallel greater than 1, then several remote
deliveries will take place simultaneously. If one gets delayed because
of a very slow connection, the others will still carry on.
