Exactly what does this mean? That qmail-send just processes one email 
at a time? And there is only one qmail-send that is master of and
handling the queue (i.e. spawning off new qmail-(remote|local)s?

And the only remedy for this is load-balancing to several servers I
guess.. 

Did they really had to give up qmail?
