Actually, that can't be. I ran some tests where I did everything but instead of calling mail() I printed the mail() call.

No luck there; I already fought as hard as I could. It's a feature that our clients tout to the people for whom they do marketing, so they have to be able to provide it, so we have to write it. % % For the delivery, you can always tune qmail to try deliverying messages % to more recipients at the same time tweaking concurrencyremote option. % The default it 20 recipients at the same time but you can increase it to % 120 without patches.
