That's a good idea, too, because it offloads the retries of failed SMTP from the Mailman server to the separate relays. In that kind of an environment, my idea for a RAMDISK-based /var/spool/mqueue might not be so far-fetched, on the Mailman machine iteslf, because the mail would only be there for a matter of seconds rather than for hours or days. What method are you using to determind what relay gets each outbound message transaction?
