Your settings above are saying: Accept a maximum of 20 simultaneous SMTP sessions; limit each individual remote host to a maximum of 4 simultaneous sessions. If the server delivering the newsletter is run by someone with $clue, and plays by the RFCs, then it will try to deliver as many of the messages in either a single transaction (if identical messages) or in a single session (if not) as possible. Under some circumstances each message may come down a separate channel, in which case you'll only allow 4 in at once (from the same host). Messages which are then deferred because your server tells the other server that it's too busy, or has exceeded your settings, will either be retried on another connection immediately or will be queued until their next retry comes around. However... I'm not sure your question means what you asked. Have you had some sort of problem with an inbound delivery to lots of recipients?
