Remote delivery threads

[pe...@kisstechnologies.co.uk]

Hi,
something I was wondering about is how the remote delivery system works. 
Obvioulsy there is a mailet which handles putting mails into the outgoing 
spool for remote delivery, and the mailet logs suggest it is thi smailet 
iself which does the delivery.  My question is in what framework do the 
threads which actually do the dleivery reside?  I mean this in the sense 
that they arent I imagine started by the mailet, but are a part of the 
spoolmanager?
If they were started by the mailet what happens if you restart the server 
and then dont relay any mail through it?
Thanks
Pete
