HA HA HA HA HA HA *COUGH* (please call a doctor, quick!).

Gargle. *Spit*. Thanks, that feels much better.

Is this the "protocol" that talks "raw qmail queue file format"?
If so, then my answer is no. On the other hands, proposals for a
reasonable protocol or API will be considered.

Direct injection makes sense only if one has to submit MANY messages
to ONE recipient.

Plain old maildrop/pickup is more than sufficient for ONE message
to MANY recipients.
