If I have to evaluate two pieces of software, doing the exact same thing.
One that checks for every single error code (as is apparently so important 
to you and the postfix crybabies, and lets not forget Venema has always 
had somthing against MS) and takes 5 minutes to process a batch of 50 msgs, 
and one that checks for the only really needed calls that does a batch of 
50 in 5 seconds, the latter wins hands down.
