Not practically.

Certainly 2K bcc: recipients is no problem at all in one qmail-inject
invocation. I've done 40K recipients, no problems.

If you have a reliable method for handling the bounces to update your
recipient list, then ezmlm may not buy you much. The way that ezmlm injects
mail is not significantly faster than multiple bcc's to qmail-inject. So if
you're looking at ezmlm solely from that perspective, I wouldn't bother.
