	You may want to consider sendmail 8.12 (current is 8.12.9, with 
8.12.10 currently in Beta2).  There are many new features with 
sendmail 8.12, including envelope auto-splitting for parallel 
delivery of a single mail message to multiple recipients.

	See Mailman FAQ Entry "6.3. MTA Performance Tuning Tips for 
Sendmail" at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.003.htp>.
