I think people were talking about using multiple queues when sending lots of
e-mail to the world, so the just placed e-mail in all four queues from their
programs.
If you want to receive lots of e-mail, setup multiple qmail installations
(hopefully with disks on different queues/controllers) and setup daemontools to
randomly run one of the four qmail-smtp programs for each incoming connection.
Write a simple c program that takes multiple arguments and simple exec's one of
the arguments randomly, and you are set.
