Does anyone know of a way to get sendmail or some related program
to send several messages over one SMTP connection, i.e. without 
opening and closing the connection for each message.

I suppose sendmail would have to call a program that stores the messages in
a poll directory, and calls a program that sends all the messges with
smtp, in one go.

The reason I want to do this is as follows:
We have two main mail nodes, each acting as gateway into seperate networks,
one an Ultrix running sendmail, the ather a VMS machine running PMDF.
These machines send lots of mail to each other, using SMTP.

From PMDF to sendmail things work smoothly, but from sendmail to PMDF
VMS has to spawn a new process for each message, which as you know, is
extreemely expensive. Thus our PMDF machine is bogged down by creating new
prcesses all the time, one for each message.

Thanks,

PS. Throwing out sendmail is NOT a possibility, for that our configuration
is too complicated.
