Or even better would be to use qmail-remote and avoid the queue, but
thats a qmail and not a mod_perl thing.
BTW I'm looking at this at the mo and have decided to go back to a dump
email to db -> crond robot sends mail to port 25 -> mail delt with
there. Why ? Well this is the most scalable, and its cross platform,
talking directly via pipes / forks etc usually has a limit somewhere,
and all too often I may reach it far sooner than I thought.
