hello. yes. the smarthost is pointed to my ISP's SMTP.
is there any way that i can set sendmail to handle more than 'x' mails at
one time?
or is this dependent on the maximum number of recepients my ISP's SMTP
server?
is sendmail intelligent enough to know that it is a single envelope of email
but destined to different recepients so it will just send it ONCE to my
SMTP's ISP, regardless of the number of recepients inside it?

have you set smarthost to point to your ISP's mailserver?
in sendmail.cf look for this directive
DS smtp.myisp.net
It may still be possible for your MTA to send more than one copy your
ISP's mailserver. I've seen this happen if the maximum number of
recipients of your ISP's mail server is reached. So let's say the maximum
is 15, sendmail will then split it to 2 mails, 1 with 15 recipients then
another with 5. No need to worry though, the TO and CC fields are not
altered.
