Possible ezmlm solution: create separate ezmlm lists for each topic/subject
you will mail on, and subscribe users to multiple lists. This won't work if
you want to mail to multiple topics (users might receive multiple identical
messages) or you can't determine the topic divisions in advance.

QMAILMFTFILE only controls whether qmail-inject sets the Mail-Followup-To:
header in the outgoing message, nothing else. And even if it did what
you want to do, the value "/../list.txt" isn't likely to be meaningful.
What you can do instead is something like:
xargs <list.txt qmail-inject -a < message.txt
(I would have made this example clearer, but I don't want the "useless use
of cat" award)
