Not completely true.  sendmail -- like every network daemon in the world --
sits in the background listening to its assigned port.  When a connection
comes in the daemon forks itself; the child handles the incoming connection
while the daemon resumes listening.  If you are having problems with system
load then the problem is probably not Majordomo at all.  The problem is
that you have not properly configured sendmail to shift to queueing only
mode when the system load rises above a particular level.
