I run a list with 65-85 users on it from my apartment over a 33.6 modem.
In my sendmail.cf, I have set up the smart relay to use my ISP's smtp
server. That way, only one copy goes through the line and it only takes a
few seconds for normal messages.

In my sendmail.cf, there is an entry like this:

# Smart host
DSsmtp.isp.com
# Use this mailer to reach the Smart host
DNesmtp


where smtp.isp.com would be my ISP, which can use esmtp. YMMV.
