So are you saying that if there are 100 subscribers in the .fr domain, 100 copies of each message are sent from California to France and from there directed to the individual recipients? If that is the case, it might be more efficient to batch each mailing list and transmit a list of subscribers along with one copy of the batch. That would still preserve the "zero storage" aspect of the hub in France.
