It's not really an important part of the answer, but the above
paragraph should have said:


The 828 recipients was the entire list, but the list is chunked into
pieces of *at most* SMTP_MAX_RCPTS (default 500) and each chunk is
sent as a separate SMTP transaction. Further, the chunks are separated
by top level domain such that all .com addresses are in their (set of)
chunk(s); all .net and .org addresses are in a separate set; all .edu,
.us and .ca addresses are in a third set, and the rest are in yet
another set.
