If you *need* customized email per recipient, over a short time, the
general consensus is that you need a two-stage solution.  The first
stage is to attempt to send each message directly, possibly re-using
qmail-remote to do the sending.  Run as many qmail-remotes as you can,
possibly using qmail-rspawn to help with handling everything.  If
sending a message fails temporarily (which will be the uncommon case),
inject it into the qmail queue.  That way, deliveries that succeed never
get queued, and don't hit the queue I/O penalty.
