Majordomo sends the entire list as a single job to sendmail, so one slow server delays the rest of the deliveries. bulk_mailer groups mail by domain, then sends multiple jobs to sendmail. This gives an integer factor speedup, where the integer is 10 or 20. ftp://cs.utk.edu/pub/moore/bulk_mailer/ I have recent experience setting this up, so you can ask me about it directly (I expect those details are really not of interest to the rest of the list). wunder -- Walter R.
