you missed the PER DESTINATION

* not "initially"
* not globally
* after CONFIGUREABLE temporary messages to the same destination

on a dedicated MTA for newsletters it would even improve in many
cass the amount of messages per day and your whole rputation
of the ip-address you are sending from

on a NORMAL mailserver with human senders it would make no sense

thats why such thing must not be default but would be nice to have
