I believe someone did write a per-domain remote concurrency patch. However
(like most problems), the modularity of qmail makes it possible without
patching. The typical solution to this, if you can't get the remote admin
to fix their problems, is to make the domain into a virtual domain,
deliver all mail for it into a Maildir, then run maildir2smtp (from Dan's
serialmail package) on it do deliver the mail over a single SMTP connection.
I'm sure this is in one of the FAQs.
