Can't say I really like it either.. but it's not a major problem for
me.

Pipelining means that the client can send SMTP commands without
waiting for the result of the previous command, within limits.

  -> EHLO
wait
 <- 220
  -> MAIL FROM
  -> RCPT TO
  -> RCPT TO
wait
 <- 250 Okay
 <- 220 Okay
 <- 220 Okay
...

Cuts nicely down on the round trips.

I assume the pipelining rfc is in the zmailer doc directory.
