Actually the lists are only announcement-type lists so users won't be
posting, so the only messages that should be queued are like you said
the bounce probes, and the messages the mods post to it.
I was thinking of setting up 2 or 3 QMQP servers on a LocalDirector to
handle the actual sending of the messages, so the original machine isn't
too busy to recieve new mail.

I am theorizing: having millions of users means lots of bad addresses.
So now, when ezmlm-warn sends out its gripes, it may mean a few
hundred thousand separate messages in the queue. Is that a load in
the queue not to worry about?
