[Mailman-Users] optimizing mail delivery

You're right, sendmail only does the optimization within a single message, not
across all the messages in the queue.  I've been thinking about another MTA,
but qmail means dealing with Dan B, which I'd rather not do because he's a
horrendous jerk in any newsgroup that dares mention qmail in an
uncomplimentary way, and my only exposure to exim was being yelled at by an
admin at an ISP who had configured his version of exim in a way that was
specifically prohibited by RFC822 and refused to fix it because it "stopped
spam" (at the expense of stopping a great deal of legitimate mail, including
my mailing list).  Is Postfix any better?
