Actually you can get round this (in exim at least). However that has

Yup. However if its doing splitting and sorting don't let it get too
clever as it will fight with exim.... certainly don't just alpha sort and
split since you will end up losing any deliveries that can be paralleled.
Best bet is to feed them all as one block to exim, allow parallel
deliveries (in 1.89x or above or patch 1.82 to fix the bug with this), or
at most split them by tld.
