Why don't you have your clients subscribe just one address each and then
use their local mail system as an "exploder"? That allows the local mail
admins to control who gets what and also significantly reduces the amount
of mail leaving your mail server(s) and entering theirs. The one down side
of this is you can't control submissions to subscribers only unless you do
it on a domain-only basis because most of the readers won't be subscribed
individually. Being a newsletter rather than a mailing list, user
submissions may not be an issue.
