But does it inject one message for all recipients?

Of course, Listar does multi-tasking (we're on UNIX, after all).
My gripe was not about parallel handling of several messages, but
about routing one message to several recipients sequentially.
Because no deliveries are done until routing is finished, and
because routing is sequential, it takes six minutes for our list
until routing is done and deliveries start.
Of course, after that the message is delivered beautifully, in
eight parallel processes even. No complaints about this one.

P.S. BTW Philip, did I tell you that Exim 4 is just plain cool?
