This is partly due to your mailing list management software (and
whether it's intelligent regarding how it breaks messages into
multiple envelopes and sends each envelope separately), and partly a
function of the SMTP MTA you use.

If this software is the part that breaks each outgoing message
into multiple parts (no more than fifty recipients per envelope, or
whatever the number is), then this is *very* important software for
your setup. I recommend you get it and install it immediately, as
Majordomo runs much better with it than without it.
