While it seems like a sensible shortcut to skip the database if not

Offhand, can dbmail simply specify multiple recipients for a message
(ie. one sendmail process, 100 recipients)? It'd of course require
some max limit to be set, and wouldn't address the actual issue here,
but overall seems like it'd make more sense, wouldn't it?
Forwarding to 100 mail adresses at the same time requires 100 sendmail
processes?
How is this implemented in Mailman, the list server running this
mailinglist?
With an ordinary unix mail installation, you specify a list to forward
your mail to, for instance [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your /etc/aliases file
Why not forward one mail to sendmail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then let
sendmail do the list expansion, by looking up the alias from the
database instead of /etc/aliases. I beleive this is one of the tasks
sendmail is written for.
