With submission from a single master file, you would need one reader
that feeds a pool of SMTP clients that send mail into Postfix.
The alternative is to feed the messages into the Postfix sendmail
command, but this loads the disk more than submission via SMTP, and
moreover, delivery of local submissions has negligible parallelism.
