*Each* message is forwarded to just *one* user. However, because
I have I dialup connection, there might be 20-50 mails in the
mailbox. These are distributed among the users (FYI: All mails belong

sendmail in *background*. This drives the system load easily beyond
20.

Ok, then here's yet another approach: deliver messages from procmail
directly to mailboxes in all those users' homes. No sendmail involved,
_much_ lower loads.
