If you're willing to waste this much time whining about the frivolous bandwidth gain from multiple RCPTs, surely you'll be willing to throw your support behind a _t_w_e_n_t_y_-_f_i_v_e_ _p_e_r_c_e_n_t_ _r_e_d_u_c_t_i_o_n_ _i_n_ _S_M_T_P_ _t_r_a_f_f_i_c! > There are some things you don't need to profile to see. The problem with your attitude is that you end up trapped by your own ignorance. You start out not understanding something---e.g., why an extra RCPT can cost so much time---and you refuse to check your mental model against reality. So you never learn. ---Dan Put an end to unauthorized mail relaying. http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html
