  Unless you are sending all the mail to users on a single host or you have
a smarthost which will relay your mail, you must make multiple connections.

  Of course, if you're sending to a smart host, it just means that that
server will have to go out and make connections to multiple hosts... So
you're not saving any work, you're just pushing it onto someone else.

She scissored short.  Sorely shorn,
Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed,
Silently scheming,
Sightlessly seeking
Some savage, spectacular suicide.
