Actually, i'm thinking about it from the administrators point of view. 
It's another, separate component to keep track of.  If all the queuing,
forking, queue-running, etc, are taken care of behind the scenes and in
an airtight way, from the system manager's point of view it's simple as
pie.  A separate, independent component seems like a whole other matter. 
I suppose all the forking and queueing suggests having a clear division
for a mail dispatching subsystem, i dunno.  Lets see how others weigh in
on the matter...
