No. One per smtpd(8) process. Each smtpd(8) process may handle
multiple client connections (up to $max_use).

Of course. Since it is spawned for a single connection, once
that connection is closed, it couldn't possibly get any further
requests. This is not the same as handling one request, you
still need a loop to handle one or requests until EOF.
