Mailman sorts the target domains and then batches the list per the SMTP_MAX_RCPTS as previously noted. Due to this target domains will be clustered. Depending on whether the number of addresses within a specific target domain is modulo SMTP_MAX_RCPTS, there may or may not be other domains within a specific bundle (2.1 does a good job here, 2.1 does slightly better). Note: This is actually a comparitively smaller optimization given an intelligent and performant MTA ala Postfix or Exim. It much more significant for Sendmail. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
