If all the messages were identical, we might be able to get some
efficiency
by sorting the list by domain name and batching them up with SMTP
That's a very BAD idea. If you sort the mail by domain, you will flood the mail queue because normally, mail sent to hotmail or yahoo will need a repeated attempts before getting through. Better leave the email address randomized as they are. -Kittiwat
If it's such a a bad idea, sendmail should take it out of there system then. This is how they have achieved speedups in later versions - when processing a queue, it sorts by domain first, so that it can open a connection and send repeated emails, rather than open a separate connection for each mail to that domain.
