Okay. I'm hoping not to run flat out. The server should spend 16 hours
a week going mad, and the rest of the time handling delivery failure
notifications, dealing with unsubscription requests and updating its
database. :-)
From what you've said so far, I think I'll work on parallelism first and
then decide whether I can afford the CPU-for-IO trade-off implicit in
SMTP transport filtering later.
