|   Um, processor overhead? network bandwidth wastage?

These are negligible compared to the resources consumed on
_successful_ delivieries.

Okay, on my Sendmail installation, I expect I could run into problems,
since Sendmail handles large queues rather badly (you get long queues
when sites are down, not because of the odd faulty address). But to
use ezmlm you must be running qmail anyhow.

If it doesn't scale, you're using the wrong tools.
