Actually, there is a lot of ||= going on in there, so it would seem
that only one
smtp session is created; the weird thing is that STARTTLS and $smtp->hello() are
run each time through send_message(), which I think is probably wrong.
If it works,
then I imagine it's just superfluous.
In any case, if his ISP doesn't like him sending more than 20 emails
per session,
then it certainly won't like 1 session per email.

This sounds reasonable, but I would have:
--rate=M/N
