I'm finding it a little hard to articulate the question I really have
on this...
Individual deliveries might be faster - especially on high latency
links (or overloaded receiving machines - which might not actually
thank you :-) ). However over the whole system is this a particular
win - are you really fitting more mail through your server or are you
just modifying the profiles of how messages go through - running
deliveries in a more serial fashion rather than having more processes
with a slower per message throughput but the same overall system cost.
[I actually like this as a technique... I just don't want to add
complexity thats not buying much ]
