I think so, but I don't know what's the mail alias. I finally solved
the problem already: "nice" option could be used in telnetd config
file to increase its priority.

Sorry, I should have described the issue I have clearly enough: I
want to change priority of telnetd instead of telnet. The telnetd session
is now started by xinetd with config file /etc/xinetd.d/telnet.
