If the original message were addressed to two recipients that would
probably result in two distinct messages being routed to b.example.com
right?

Is there any way to suppress that? I have a number of hosts such as
b.example.com which are located in Asia. Bandwidth is lousy and latency
is incredibly high. I'm trying to get mail delivered over there as
effectively as possible. Any kind of saving is worth my while (I'm
also considering batched SMTP, perhaps compressing the batches somehow).

Actually mail for these users is delivered to a central hub in Europe
and I have to then forward these messages to the remote destinations
keeping a copy of the message on the mail hub.

Any ideas?
