    F> thousands... will I also run out of disk space ?

When you turn on VERPing Mailman makes a unique copy of each message
for each recipient, so do the math. :)

There might be a way to defer this until SMTP delivery time, in which
case we'd only create the copies in memory when talking to the smtpd.
These copies would get gc'd after delivery, but we'd still have to
play the game that I think Marc brought up about not blasting too many
messages down the same socket connection.

I'll think on this.
