This usually turns out to be a poor tradeoff, it sends fewer bits over the
wire but the overall list delivery is slower than delivering in random order,
since random order gets you a lot more parallelism.
Experienced list members will recognize this as the most contentious issue in
the qmail vs. sendmail flame war, so you can look up the places this has been
argued in the past.
