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! -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications & God knows what else.
