	By default, Mailman will group recipients together into chunks 
the size specified in your mm_cfg.py, or in Defaults.py (if you 
didn't put in anything in mm_cfg.py).

	However, if you turn on personalization, then Mailman will send 
out one message per person.  Search the FAQ for "VERP" and 
"personalization" in order to learn more.

	Use an outbound mail relay service, whereby you pay them money to 
act as your relay.  Route all outbound mail through them.  Make sure 
they're clean and not spammer-friendly, otherwise you're back in the 
same RBL hell that you're in now.
