No need to use SMTP then. You should just be calling sendmail to drop
the emails into the queue. And that should not be slowing down.

They _all_ slow down after a while? How many emails are you sending in
this way?
It's easily tested. Just generate a script with 10000 calls to the
mail() function (send to denis+NNNNN@amoureux.com with NNNNN = random
number). If that goes through without slowing down, mail() and your
sendmail daemon are not to blame.
