probably waiting for those slug domains which have either

        * slow links
        * slow dns
        * are no longer in services

but, that is just a quick guess ;) note that all of these really are not
dependent upon whether you do one connection and pipe a bazillion messages
over it, or a bazillion connection of one message each. Imho,
i still think that the relatively random distribution of target
addresses for a server makes this relatively moot, unless
you are bulk-mailing 300,000 messages to AOL. however,
in that case, shouldn't the bulk mailer just talk SMTP and
save everyone the hassle?
