I also really wonder whether anyone besides me and the author of the patch
are using the "sort by domain and chunkify" patch to SMTPDirect, too.
I've been using it for six months and I think I like it; it's a way of
distributing the load a bit: do the obvious-easy-simple stuff and let the
MTA do the rest.

Wonder if it would make a difference for those with enough mail to be
hitting bottlenecks?
