The Qmail author says that in practice this scenario is : very rare, also for a link with lots of BW and a slow round trip time it's : faster to send 2 messages at the same time than 1 message with an extra : receipient. Very rare? Two extra complete SMTP negotiations and transmissions faster than a single RCPT? How interesting. Nick
