You probably didn't understand what I was trying to say.
Inject say a thousand recipients in one qmail-queue
(or inject, or sendmail, if you wish) call. Make sure
you are not injecting them individually, if you can.
That way, the queue system has less work managing them.
The difference between sendmail-clone/qmail-inject/
qmail-queue is just the interface and the number of
execs needed. qmail-queue is closest to the raw
performance your IO subsystem is capable of.
