I needed a simple way to send lots of messages (for testing the trunk

to send multiple identical messages at once (via fork).  Please see 
the attached patch.  Remember if you are doing this, you will need to 
up the

     --limit-connections
and  --max-from-ip

options when running qpsmtpd.  I was able to get the pollserver from 
trunk to accept 100 simultaneous messages without breaking a sweat 
(although it took > 30 seconds so the last swaks session actually 
timed out and got hit by check_earlytalker).  The nice thing was the 
load never went above 0.55 (700MHz Celeron)!

Can you explain why it got hit by check_earlytalker? Doesn't seem to 
make sense...
