The 'allow' is misleading. It says to allow the TCP connection, but not

Why is the onus on qmail here? If I'm an MTA dropping off mail to
another MTA, I'm going to send the mail as fast as the other MTA accepts
it. If Other MTA needs to slow it down, it should do so. There's no
reason for me to make assumptions about how many SMTP connections and
