Public bug reported:
When using sendmail, you can see suboptimal performance. While there
are some tweaks that can be done, eg: adjusting SMTP_MAX_RCPTS, you can
also see a significant performance gain by sorting by domain.
I have been using this patch privately since at least 2004 and wanted to
share it to be included in future releases if feasible.
There is a second part of it that also adjusts the chunk map which can
either be incorporated or excluded as well.
This will put folks who are @gmail.com all together when handed to
sendmail (for example) instead of interspersed in some other ordering.
One can argue the MTA should do this, but this is a light-weight
approach to optimally utilize resources if the MTA doesn't handle it
properly.
** Affects: mailman
Importance: Undecided
