We're entrenched into sendmail and this tweak is not sufficient to
migrate to some other MTA.

Sorry if I missed it in the Release Notes for Beta2, but what new
feature of 8.13.0 implemented this?

A quick grep for 'setpriority' came up empty, and looking for 'nice'
showed support for confNICE_QUEUE_RUN for queue runner niceness.  Is
there something that can be done with the Nice=N mailer option added in
8.7.1(!)?

Thanks,
Chris
