I agree, but I think we're talking about something different.  What I
was trying to describe is a new delivery system that would still queue a
single message per post, but be able to send out customized messages as
they were delivered.  This would allow ezmlm-send to exit quickly
instead of tieing up a local delivery slot, not to mention dealing with
interrupt issues.

It was also suggested in another post to allow for the queuer to specify
a program that would be run once per recipient to allow for further
customizations not forseen by me.
