Hi Hamish,

 

I have not confirmed it but as I suspect the issue is probably because a single connection, as you suggested, is being used to stream multiple emails. I guess the only way to determine this is to do a tcpdump at the time a client connects to send multiple email, correct? This is not predictable so it will be hard to determine the right time to do the tcpdump. We were using RR and switched to "Least Connection (member)" for testing purposes.

 

Thanks,
