Good idea!
Sorry, but after reading my own message, I've seen it's ambiguous.
In my previous message, by "process the queue as soon as a new
message arrives", I was referring to the procmail scenario mentioned in
a prior message. That is, have procmail deliever each email to a
separate file, and process *that* file into FreshPorts as soon as it
arrives. In that context, the "queue" is the files on disk. With this
strategy, I'm sure a P100 could handle things.
