Another thing that can be of use is automating the use of the gateway
when sending the same message to more than one recipient. The logic I
use is:

If one recipent
  send message direct to recipient
else
  if all recipients at same host
    send one copy of the message to that host
  else
    send one copy of message to the gateway

It's actually a bit more complex than that to allow for CC: and BCC:
headers but you get the general idea.

The ideas here about message size and time of day/day of week would
obviously have to be applied before the multiple recipients testing.

Does anyone know the maximum number of destinations the Demon gateway
can take for one message? I've only used it for about 8 or 9 at present
but I can see a need in future to send the same message to 50 or 60.
