Ok, found some time right now... I've tested this mainly with
handcrafted queue files, and in my production (which does not use a
body editing/replacing milter...), without any discernible bad effect.
There is a price though, since we exchange a nice/fast seek with a
semi-convoluted loop.

The code is ugly, and could well bear with some constructive
critisism... and if some sharp (postmix-friendly:-) minds like Dhawal,
Drew, Joshua, Phil (Uxbod) or Gerhard could find some time to
test/read/verify both the thinking and code, that would be much
appreciated. Even some non-postfix-liking minds would be very much
appreciated (That means you, oh evil bunny;-).
It should be good enough for a beta:-). So if you feel up to it, and
don't think it too massive a thing Jules...:-)

Cheers
