Beware, for thou art entering a truly sacred area of mail transportation.
Qmail is a splendid mailing list handler, just for those things.
SMTP does not support multiple MAIL FROMs per message, which is
required for qmails VERPs, which in turn reduce the workload on the
list administrator. And DJB, author of qmail, has made convincing
arguments about bandwidth usage of several mailers.
What you want is UUCP. It was designed for small pipes. SMTP, then
again, was not designed (IMHO sic).
Please refer to the archives of the djb-qmail list. Links at www.qmail.org
