# mail/bulk_mailer - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Assist in delivery of mail to large numbers of recipients

    bulk_mailer assists with "bulk" mailing, such as large majordomo
    lists under sendmail.  For input, it takes a file of recipient
    addresses (one address per line) and a message (with headers already
    attached) to be sent to the recipients.  It sorts the recipient
    list by reversed domain (so similar ones sort together), splits up
    the recipients into several groups containing no more than N domains
    each, creates an SMTP envelope for each group of recipients, and
    feeds that envelope to "/usr/lib/sendmail -bs".

    Splitting the envelopes up allows sendmail to perform delivery in
    parallel, so instead of having one large queue entry (for which
    sendmail might take awhile to get around to attempting delivery
    for some recipients), it has several smaller queue entries.
    Depending on your point-of-view, this can still be considered
    "cluttering up your mail queue", but it does seem to deliver messages
    more quickly to most recipients.
