yes, qmail is not a good reference.  nevertheless, I don't think trying really hard to save on connections is the objective here.  I'm talking about 5 to 20 mails per day.  seriously, that's *nothing*.  mail servers get more spam than that.  I want to keep the mail agent simple.  underpowered on purpose.  just for the "install and mail works" thing, not for the "hey, I can also run my mailinglists across this mail agent" thing.  just imagine a blood simple smarthost delivery agent and add queue + local delivery.  if something is feasible, then it could be a feature.  if something requires advanced techniques (queue daemon, whatnot), then it is not the place to put it.

I know Matt has been doing big provider business since long time, but that's not the target.  dead. simple.  like mined vs emacs/vi.  just that *something* is there.

cheers
