Re: Postfix LDA delivery

Yes, that holds true with postfix 2.x and cyrus 2.x, I will have to take 
a look at the efficiency standpoint, I saw no real problem well into the 
1000's of pieces/min but I didnt test it both ways, mostly because I 
never saw the need to.  Good point, I'll add this info to the howto once 
I'm done testing.
