That's why I am writing one.  Trustworthy is premier objective.  And I think I got this already covered.  No mail should be left behind, etc.

But those other issues, like being "friendly" to a remote system:  if you send 20 mails a day, do you really have to care?  Of course you should care, theoretically speaking, but practically?  Let's have a look:

1. target MX is a busy system
-> so what are 20 mails on top of those 10000s being processed per day?

2. target MX is an idle system
-> sure 20 mails instead of one with multiple RCPT are a big share.  but who cares, the system is idle anyways.

Of course I don't want the mailer to be a jackass, but first get it working, then make it even better.
