[Mailman-Users] optimizing mail delivery

[Paul Tomblin]

Quoting Klaubert Herr da Silveira (klaubert at bcb.gov.br):

>From looking at my sendmail logs, mailman does the right thing when it splits
up a message to multiple MTA processes and gives all the messages for people
@panix.com to the same process, etc.  And sendmail *definitely* does the right
thing and sends only one message to panix.com.
