That doesn't contradict what I said. By "single message", I was
excluding multiple messages.
Do you agree that a locally injected, immediate delivery mode message
with multiple recipients will be delivered serially by a single
sendmail process using one connection at a time? Of course, delivery
attempts that fail on the first try will be queued and available to
queue runners, but that's not my point.
