I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I'm not going in the right direction
here. If there's an MJ2 problem then I'll be happy to deal with it myself
or on the mj2 list later. For now, can we please just ignore that fact
that I'm using mj2 and focus on the sendmail question at hand?

I have some number of messages to be delivered. Some of these messages
will be relayed through rcn. All I'm looking for is the configuration
option to specify to sendmail that when it sends mail out to rcn that the
number of connections to rcn be limited to a maximum of four. If sendmail
can't do that then that's fine too as long as I know.

Thanks.
