Test with stock qmail on a Solaris workstation, 10,000 copies sent
to the same email address (obviously the same domain) using qmail-inject:
30 minutes.
Test from same workstation with a script to generate 10,000
"rcpt to:" lines and send via a single connection: 5 minutes.
In the first example, 10,000 actual copies were delivered to the
mailbox but in the second, only a single copy was delivered.
Presuming it should take the same amount of time to wait for a
"rcpt to:" response whether sending a separate message at a time or a
single message with multiple "rcpt to:" lines, I get the results that I
expected - to send to the same domain (ignoring VERP requirements), it is
faster to use a single connection for multiple messages than to use qmail.
