I'm interested on how Mailman is able to deliver out emails rapidly. I'm curious on whether it opens a pipe to Sendmail or Qmail, injects the message, then closes the pipe after each message it delivers or does it write a file directly into a queue folder waiting to be sent...
The reason I ask is that people say SMTP is faster than mailing via Qmail and that by opening/closing a pipe to Qmail, it adds more overhead. Also, you'll fill up disk space faster by queuing up messages than to directly email the message. I'm weighing down alternatives and method of mail delivery for a large client of ours.
