Thank you. But it doesn't seem to fix anything, it just takes longer because the other connections are delayed. But the result is the same. $rcpt_count never gets above 1. Now, why would yahoo only send one RCPT per connection when 4 addresses to the same domain are on the same message? What is the benefit of doing that -- aside from facilitating spam from their addresses?
