Each email is basically another ruby process that loads rubygems, tmail, mms2r, etc. It's probably better to just have postfix dump emails to a maildir and have tmail read them in a little ruby daemon: <a href="http://tmail.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/TMail/Maildir.html" rel="nofollow">http://tmail.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/TMail/M...</a> .
