Oops! That means it's time to hit the sack. 8-)

Unless the destination address happens to be in a virtual domain on the
same machine, in which case the standard reinjection actually trumps the
above by one unneeded SMTP transaction from the machine to itself.
In any case, it sounds to me like we're entering the realm of pinhole
optimization (or some equivalent concept). Is the performance boost
worth the kinks it'll likely introduce in the existing qmail architecture?
I'm not sure...
