That's an interesting theory you've posited.
How, I wonder, could we prove it?
qmail only does one recipient delivery.
Statistics show (haven't an URL ready, sorry) that the overall "overhead"
against multi-recipient systems is nearly unmeasurable. Of course there ARE
situations, were it is a big gain to use multi-recipient strategy.
Most of the time recipient sorting on the sender site is rather CPU and
DNS expensive so in the same time some mailservers spend sorting
other actually finish the deliveries.
