Your choice of delivery mechanism is unfortunate. It is far better to deliver to a persistent daemon that talks SMTP or LMTP, you get much lower latency, I/O and CPU impact. Don't use local(8) for high volume traffic to a single mailbox, or to fork/exec scripts. -- Viktor. Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
