Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.72-6
Severity: normal
exim should keep the connection until connection_max_messages
have been sent however it seems to stop after max_rcpt instead
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

The upstream ticket has been closed :

|
| As the long comment in deliver.c says, at "Furthermore (2)", this behaviour is
| deliberate so that VERP can be supported. I think the patch as written will
| break that.
|
| We could complexify the return_path evaluation; at present it is done in
| deliver.c and would have to be moved into the smtp driver; if we didn't do
| the same for all other transports then remote and local would be assymetric.
|
| It's not clear that the change is worthwhile. Closing on that basis; please
| reopen if you feel strongly that TCP connection setup overhead is important.
I am also closing the Debian ticket, since there is no point in having
it open here forever.
