Mailman is really not the tool for this.

What you could do however is use Mailman to generate the MTA spool
entries and then use Exim as the MTA with a filter installed that
does the mailmerge at the point and time of delivery.  This is
actually not that difficult to do (tho fiddly to debug/test).  The
Exim/VERP guys are doing something very like this IIRC.
