Looking at Postfix, what other options are readily available? I suppose you could try to hook into the transport maps, but if I understand them correctly, you're still talking about forking a process per message. Maybe LMTP to a daemon process is another option, but there appears to be no documentation on www.postfix.org about LMTP.
LMTP is fully supported in postfix. You just set mailbox_transport (or trhe right hand side of your transport map) to lmtp:... - see postfix's smtp(8). I've used it to deliver to cyrus imapd for a long time now. See RFC 2033 for the LMTP standard.
