The number of SMTP transactions to send to 200 members depends on
various Mailman settings. If the list is not personalized or VERPed,
the default is to send one transaction with 200 (up to 500 per
transaction) recipients. With personalization or VERP like delivery,
there will be one transaction per recipient.
