By using qmail-remote directly you avoid all of the I/O overhead of
placing the message in the queue and have qmail-send find and process
each message. Going to qmail-remote directly is a zero I/O cost
strategy.
I recently did a system somewhat like this across multiple servers and
the systems doing the initial qmail-remote delivery attempt where
diskless. Works a treat.
