In my experience with James (we're using 2.2.0), James will still send
out one email at a time, creating 400 connections to the MX pool for
gmail.  This may have changed in later versions, but, YMMV.

In my experience, we've noticed that sometimes the MX hosts will
actively reject or drop the mail while we're sending it out.  James
will stick it in the outgoing directory, and retry using the rules
that we've defined.  We've taken a somewhat aggressive stance, telling
James to redirect every minute, and that seems to alleviate some of
that.

I'm unsure of that one -- maybe someone on the list with a little more
experience with the ListServ mailet can address it.

Solving site load issues with database replication is a lot like
solving your own personal problems with heroin -- at first, it sorta
works, but after a while things just get out of hand.
