Nope and maybe. But only if your own queue and retry mechanism is more 
efficient than that provided by qmail-send.

Oh, you don't have your own queue and retry mechanism? Then qmail-remote is 
irrelevant to you unless you are happy to discard mail that doesn't get thru 
first time. I sgguest that you stick with qmail-inject and investigage your 
resource usage.

To give you a ballpark. Something like a P-II with 100MB of memory, a single 
SCSI disk that is well connected should be able to deliver 100K average 
sized messages in 3-4 hours.

If your goal is in that ballpark or less, then it's a matter of homework and 
perhaps a better understanding of the best way to inject mail.
