Unless I'm not understanding something, qmail-send gets concurrencyremote
from only one process (qmail-rspawn). So there is only one process per pipe
(and several pipes: one descriptor for qmail-rspawn, one for qmail-lspawn,
one for qmail-clean,...).
qmail-rspawn is the one who deals with many processes (qmail-remote).
