    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!
