I tried to use bulk_mailer as it is recommended in the documentation. However, the mail couldn't get sent - sendmail complained as below:

I suspect you're running sendmail 8.1x and are using bulkmailer, right?
If so, this comes from a bug in sendmail. If you check the known bugs
list for sendmail, you'll find it listed there. I have had success
with using includes as a workaround, like this:
testlist-out: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/testlist
Use this in place of:
testlist-out: "|/usr/local/bin/bulk_mailer owner-testlist@ml.gol.com /usr/local/majordomo/lists/testlist"
Of course, if your lists are not in /usr/local/majordomo, adjust as
appropriate.
Another workaround could be to replace Sendmail with some other
MTA, such as Postfix, Exim, or Qmail. I plan to move to Exim, which
we run in the rest of our mail system, unless a patched version
of Sendmail shows up before then.
Cheers,
