You can always open a pipe to qmail-smtpd, or qmail-qmtpd.
They'll happily eat all the messages from a pipe, but you
can't avoid the exec per queue injection. There just is no
way.
Are you sure the qmail-VERH patches won't solve your problem?
They allow you to embed the recipient address in the
message body without creating multiple queue messages.
