Sendmail will not do this for you. MailMan can be persuaded to, but
I wouldn't bother. A better choice is to use a better MTA than
Sendmail, which has better (faster and more optimised) delivery and
queue running functionality than Sendmail. Two good choices are:
Exim http://www.exim.org/
Postfix http://www.postfix.org
Unlike Sendmail, such efficient MTAs will automatically order the
messages they deliver in the most efficient fashion.
