n principle, yes... it is a compromise.

ZMailer, at least, lets you balance this compromise by optionally
allowing you to run the router syncronously from the smtp server,
which, obviously, adds to the memory footprint of the smtp server, but
the choice is yours... in fact, you can run another process of your
choice that follows a very simple smtpsever/router protocol and that
could be much smaller than the router (we usually do this for user
verification against a BerkeleyDB or LDAP or whatever, it is allways
much smaller that zmailer's router... but it is an additional
process.. you see, it's always a compromise).
