This is an interesting thought Viktor -- thank you.  I checked the
logs and saw only one message that used an outlook.com relay that did
not use one of the four outlook transports.  This outlook email
address is a recent subscription to our devotion email.  You would
likely agree that one outlook email not using the outlook dedicated
transports is not the cause of 17 MaxConnections.

The "static" transport table is generated as part of our log analysis
each morning after we deliver the email for the day.  Perhaps we can
call this "semi-dynamic" transport table.  It is a good day for us to
20 additional subscriptions net (subscribes less unsubscribes) across
all email address domains.  I do not believe the transport.regexp and
the devotion emails actually sent will ever get far out of sync.  I
can change the crontab to rebuild the transport.regexp in the early
morning just before the Spanish and English runs begin -- this would
close the gap even further.

One key problem we are facing is a high density of outlook.com emails
from Spanish speaking subscribers.  Here are the morning run stats for
our devotion emails in Spanish:

                                         Email     Ave      Max      conn
      Relay                           Sent    Delay    Delay     use=
      outlook.com                  4,747        4      391         0
      google.com                   4,517        1       24      529
      yahoodns.net                   675        1        3           0
         < 100 Email Sent skipped (some exceptions); all in Total
      Total                            10,123      2.3      391      529

    Maillog Summary:
      Google       -- UserOverquota_Deferred: 44
      Outlook      -- Connection: 16, MaxConnections: 16,
MaxConnections_Deferred: 5

The Spanish devotions sent 4,747 emails to Outlook out of 10,123 Total
-- a density of 47%.  This Spanish group got 16 of the 17
MaxConnections.

The English devotions sent 2,366 to Outlook out of 19,620 Total -- a
density of only 12%  The English group saw the remaining 1
MaxConnections.

Microsoft must be doing a good job of marketing to Spanish speaking regions.

Here is some additional information that is hope is *Not* related.  I
received four emails this morning from Spanish speaking people that
did not receive a devotion -- I directed them to look in their Spam
Folder.  I also saw that Microsoft SNDS status went from "yellow" to
"red" for our IP addresses this morning.
