Proposal 4:
I'd like to see a qmail-queue async plugin. I'd put myself to the task, but by async programming skills tend to null for the moment.

I don't think that's possible, since qmail-queue is fork/exec'd. I guess you could async the pipe connection to it, but it doesn't seem worth it.

I was referring to async the pipe to it.

Why does it not seem worth it? I remember reading that some types of blocking I/O can be acceptable in non-blocking servers because they return very fast? Is writing to pipes one of those cases? Or have I "flipped a bit", and am totally mis-remembering XD ? Could this mean that qmail-queue, as it is actually written will

On the other hand, we could directly write the files in the queue, like qmail-queue.c, not having to fork and exec to bin/qmail-queue... and all in async-fashion.
