No need to use SMTP then.  You should just be calling sendmail to drop
the emails into the queue.  And that should not be slowing down.

They _all_ slow down after a while?  How many emails are you sending in
this way?  

It's easily tested.  Just generate a script with 10000 calls to the
mail() function (send to denis+NNNNN@xxxxxxxxxxxx with NNNNN = random
number).  If that goes through without slowing down, mail() and your
sendmail daemon are not to blame.
