Hello,

this is a copy of http://bugs.debian.org/631457 reported by Jasen Betts.

According to the docs the SMTP transport option max_rcpt=1 is supposed to
control how many RCPT TO: are sent for each MAIL FROM and DATA. However it
seems to control how many RCPT TO commands are sent on a single SMTP
connection.

How to reproduce:

add the follwing global setting:

remote_max_parallel = 1

add the following settings to the remote_smtp: transport

max_rcpt=1
connection_max_messages = 500

and then send a single email to multiple recipients at any remote domain

exim discards the connection and opens a new one between each email,
ignoring the setting connection_max_messages = 500
