this assertion isn't true. your experience with tcsh+sendmail is due
entirely to sendmail. i send ~500k messages each weekday and each one
is an individual delivery. (if you want a drawn out discussion of multiple
vs single RCPT commands see the qmail archives.) it turns out that
in the real world any place where you might have 100 subscribers (say,
aol, msn, compuserv or prodigy) you'll find lots of horsepower (and
possibly lots of machines) to accept the mail. my piddly 75 simultaneous
smtp connections are lost in the noise at aol's 14 mx hosts.
regarding listserv's reply-to behaviour; you describe the default correctly
but it allows list, originator, both, none or another specified address.

There is no way multiple copies can match a single copy to
multiple recipients in speed.
