Assuming your MTA returns a failure code indicating a temporary
failure (a 400-series error? someone correct me if I'm wrong...),
mailman should drop the message into the 'retry' queue and try again
some time (fifteen minutes?) later. Realize, of course, that unless
your MTA is limiting by number of recipients, each mailman 'mail' may
include several hundred recipients (unless you've turned on
personalization. Which, for a 20,000 member list, probably isn't a
very good idea).
