Brad, if your _incoming_ queue is so big that you have to worry, your 
servers are woefully underspec'd. I understand your dislike for Maildir, 
but for the _incoming_ queue case, it just shouldn't matter. If you can 
provide a detailed use case where it matters for the _incoming_ queue, 
please do so.
