What, only 1411?
The sendmail limitation you are discussing is a basic queueing / DNS
resolver limitation that is relatively easy to solve. Postfix is
almost certainly faster, but it makes no sense to put postfix
in our base distribution just because you have a 1400 user mailing
list and your list software doesn't break them up a little before
starting up sendmail!
