postfix multi recipient

smtpd_recipient_limit = 1

Makes every inbound connection stop and deliver a multi recipient 
message individually, making for heaps of extra work for postfix, which 
is kinda crappy.

So since postfix can seperate the email inbound and seperate it outbound 
with default_recipient_limit, if we use a 2 postfix instance on the same 
machine, the 1st external facing to recieve all inbound email, from here 
it could split the messages before sending to the 2nd postfix instance 
and then confgiure MailScanner to use the 2nd postfix instance? 
Performance not really being a big issue with both POstfix running on 
the same machine?

A little messy, not sure if it is worth it, might be time to learn 
another MTA?

I have read heaps of stuff in the postfix forum, Wietse is never going 
to implement this, and a few people have copped a spray from him for 
asking (he seems pretty uptight).
