yuck.  didn't think of that.

POP/IMAP clients can be handled with the pattern-matching stuff: give
them priority.

singlethreaded MTAs are losers anyway; there are so many other ways
they can get wedged.  unfortunately, zmailer's scheduler is a
wedgeable..  dunno what to do about that, other than replacing it with
a completely different queueing system.
