I get a near instant return to the buffer when submitting via
'sendmail' (exim in my case).  It's only takes the time required to
spit the content of the mail through the pipe to that process...once
done, the delivery is asyncrhonous to sup.  If it's not behaving that
way when using a real mta, something with the mta config is borked.[1]

Thanks

[1] By default sendmail used to try immediate handoff before queuing,
    which could result in delayed return.  I'm not sure if it still
    does though.
