I really hate the idea of using server() on a regular basis.  It totally
beats the whole idea of having separate processes for server and router.
On a heavily loaded host, when you typically have a dosen incoming
connections at a time, fork()+exec() on every message is too much cost.

As a sidenote, does "pipelining" mean that smtpserver calls router to
process every incoming message?  If yes, I'd like to disable it ;->
If no, excuse me my ignorance ;->
