Why do you want mod=reg here?  It seems like, with mod=imm and a background
demon running, you'll get immediate delivery if the channel's idle, and
delayed delivery only if the channel's busy.  The only flaw should be that
messages arrive out-of-sequence.

By the way, people should be aware that the MMDF released with SCO has some
other real problems - it bounces mail that has perfectly valid destination
addresses but a bad return address; it rewrites addresses improperly
when bouncing mail, and often sends it to the wrong place; and it sends out
a copy of a message for each recipient, even at times when it could send
a single copy to multiple recipients.  Rumor has it that much newer versions
of MMDF exist, and are far better.
