 So what? Forking is not a big deal on a modern OS. And a modular system
 like postfix (and possibly qmail) will reuse smtp clients.

 Fair enough. But unnecessary if you already have an MTA running on
 the machine. OTOH, there are many different setups and uses for IMP,
 so it might be a good idea to have an option in IMP to configure a
 different way of sending mail.
