The problem is that you can potentially have megabytes worth of
envelope information. So do you pipe that to the program on a
non-standard fd? But then you can't use standard tools. Or do you
extract the recipients one at a time, and run the program once for
each recipient? Or do you have a different qmail-unqueue which runs
the recipients through a program, one per line?
I agree, though, that such a program is needed. Hopefully it's on
Dan's TODO list for qmail 2.0.
