Normally, I would defer to you for all things MTA as your knowledge and
experience in this area are far greater than mine, but I have been
under the impression that if an MTA has two or more messages to
deliver to the the same remote MX, that it can and perhaps will
deliver them in one SMTP session as follows
My understanding is that the issue here isn't so much the single SMTP
connection, which may or may not get re-used, depending on the queueing
strategy of the sender.
If you want to increase your efficiency in this area, then you make sure
that your submission actually just puts the message into the queue in
deferred mode and doesn't make an immediate delivery attempt, and of
course you turn off all spam and other access control checks on the
outbound side, since you should have already done all those on inbound.
You then allow later queue runs to come along and pick that up, along
with any other messages bound for that destination.
I think we cover this in the various "performance" articles in the FAQ Wiki.
My understanding is that the issue here is whether or not the VERP'ed
format will be understood and usable by Mailman if there is a bounce,
and how many unique messages will be delivered, as opposed to how many
connections will be created to deliver the messages.
