You can run mail delivery in the background by setting ASYNCH_SMTP="1",
which is a new feature and not tested on all systems. Of course, while
LISTSERV then processes incoming mail very quickly (it doesn't have to
wait for sendmail to accept it), sendmail doesn't deliver it any faster.

This is not an issue when you run LSMTP. Just send a test note to, say,
[log in to unmask] during US prime time, and count the seconds
before you get your reply. This machine delivers about 800k messages a
day and also runs MAIL.EWORLD.COM on the same hardware (PP200).
