Did you *try* it? :) Or did you just assume that this Russ has mush
for brains? I just spent twenty minutes grovelling through the source
and man page. No, it really *does* work -- at least for real users,
and I expect it could be modified to work in other ways. The cost is
having to run qmail-local again, but heck, you know it's in memory,
you're already running one copy. So then the rest of the overhead is
the CPU and system calls, which aren't much more than what you'd need
for a deliver-to-maildir. And remember -- the program which already
works gets more done than any program you can envision but have not
yet written.
