I have no idea why your servers are seeing longer averages, but I can assure
you it isn't our client that's doing it. When there are no more messages we

I also don't know why this would be a change that became visible only in
the last year given the fact that at least sendmail has had that
feature for something like fifteen years now.
I had a mental relapse in reading the change in our log profiles this
year from secs to usecs display. The ave is essentially the same.
Well, It (Connection Sharing) is still a poor one-side only benefit
logic and probably this fact was realized long along and simply not
employed in any significant way and if it is, probably isolated to
specific host and for the rest, if employed, has a very short (perhaps
5 secs) hold time. Holding up channels *anonymous and unsolicited*
for an extended time would not be very desirable.
