Is your MTA running as a daemon or thru inetd? (should be runnign thru inetd for minimal startup time)

Almost certainly *not*. If you run it through inet, it has to start up and parse its configuration files every single time it recieves an email. If runing as a daemon, it's got the config files parsed already before the mail even hits it.

Yup, absolutely. Somehow that sentence got mangled between brain and fingers/keyboard when I typed it.
