Actually sendmail will do that by default. I'm not sure what you're trying,
but if you have a hundred messages to be delivered to the same mail server, it
will transfer them all in a single connection 'Using cached ESTMP
connection' is the message sendmail -q -v will give you.(I know, I've
frequently cleared queues of 1000+ mails when my mail hub used to be down,
and all mails would queue up on the gateway mail machine.)
