I used exim to send a message to 1,300 recipients last week. Admittedly,
most of them were local deliveries, but wouldn't it be more sensible to
send these messages sorted according to remote site and then include
multiple recipients in each message? This can't have been too difficult
to do, and would make the process (and the bandwidth consumed) much
smaller.
My 1,300 recipient mailing was mostly delivered by this Silicon Graphics
machine in a few seconds, with just three entries left in the queue after
a minute or so. How much of that time was actually due to the perl script
which sorted and batched the recipients, I do not know.
