Yes. A series of 'unseen' routers, ELSE a single more complex one, with your choice of selector mechanism. E.G. - a software Johnson counter or randomizer.

You should be able to do that w/o external perl - or perhaps just by reading flags set by an independently running perl (or other) daemon, SQL in our case, that is monitoring read/unread count or prior delivery count - but same idea. > > cheers, > Paul. > The calls or lookups, BTW, are not all that different in mechanicals from greylisting work, for which there are copious examples.
