mmhhh... html mail...

Im studing exim because I will have to implement a mailing list
system. Reading the online documentation about exim, it says (please correct
me if I was wrong) that exim can queue messages to the same domain
and send then in a single smtp connection. This feature, plus some
paralelism in the proccess, seens perfect to me. But I CANT do it,
Ive tried a lot of options, changed a lot of variables in global.c, recompiled
exim a lot of times, and in every subsequent tests, it opens a connectino
per mesg...
What I done is the following:
1) run exim;
2) run this simple script
while (true); do; echo "a" | mail -s "TEST" <recipient_in_another_domain>
3) verify the sockets open with
netstat -na | grep "\.25 " | grep -v "LISTEN" | wc -l
And every time it is a connection per message....
I would like to know how to make all messages be sent in a single connection (if
possible) and if someone has already developed a mailing list system using exim (perhaps
using majordomo)
<<<<<<<<<<<
I'm in the process of migrating an exim-majordomo config to an exim-
mailman config. This is fairly straightforwards thanks to the howto-
using exim and mailman together by Nigel Metherringham:
http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html
Mailman information is found at:
http://www.list.org/
You may find some info in the mailing list FAQ, however I
have not looked at it lately:

Hope this helps,
