A good alternative to exploders is using relays. The linux-* lists are
distributed by a number of what was in a recent thread called smart
hosts. E.g., all recipients with addresses *.no are dumped at
nvg.unit.no. This saves bandwidth for the main list host, and
configuration and CPU-cycles at the distribution points compared to a
exploder solution (it's just put into the queue, no list management
software required).
