It's possible that it looks that way > due to different delivery strategies (try to deliver to all recipients Qmail would kill hub very fast, considering that it sends a mail per recipient and doesn't try to group deliveries. It would also make us lose the traffic cut we enjoy with national/regional relays. When one mail is sent to the list, one copy goes for all *.fr recipients, one copy goes for all *.de recipients and so forth. That's bandwidth and delay reduction for you and where Qmail sucks big time IMO. Qmail is faster but sends N times as much data as sendmail.
