Don't know about exim. Am told the queueing algorithms of qmail ain't that
optimal. But when initial delivery is a success, qmail is quite good.

Wouldn't it be great to use something else for those messages, if murphy
gets overloaded by them (dunno about that) ? Say have qmail doing the
delivery once, but if it fails, insert it into another mail system's queue,
which is more scalable (it appears to me ZMailer is doing a good job on this
one, and it won't overload the system) ?
Just another plug :-0
