[PLUG] large scale postfix help

[Mental Patient <mental@neverlight.com>]

Hey, does anyone have any tips for getting postfix to deal better with
large scale traffic?

Lets say there's a host in a DMZ relaying for an entire (private)
network. That host seems to be throttling the rate at which it spools
mail. It also seems to be a bit slow to deliver when there's thousands
of messages in the queue. 

Has anyone here tuned postfix on that scale? The faq has some info, but
not all. 

For instance is there a way to pipeline multiple messages into postfix
at once from a host?

Is postfix completely the wrong tool for the job? Would qmail be better?
And on an unrelated note, has anyone gotten the qmail-src package to
compile in debian (stable)?

I'm running this on an x86 box running debian (stable).
