No. That creates one message per recipient--lots of disk I/O to do the

It's faster than injecting a separate message for each recipient. As you
suspected, bcc'ing the recipients on one message means only one message
in the queue,
list.txt is a list of addresses. Is this faster than bcc anyway? Any
help much appreciated.
Bcc is indeed efficient, because it only injects one message into the
queue.
The xargs method is quite efficient, but not as efficient as the Bcc
trick. Note too that the Bcc trick is only guaranteed to work
args qmail-inject -a message.txt

No. That creates one message per recipient--lots of disk I/O to do the
same thing as one message, many recipients.

and the cost
saving is too small to measure for a large recipient list.
One suggestion I got but which I
can't get to work is:
cat list.txt | xargs qmail-inject -a message.txt
where list.txt is a list of addresses. Is this faster than Bcc: anyway? Any
help much appreciated.
In what way can't you
Mark, you rule. This has been a tremendous help. Thanks a lot.

That should still
Thank you everyone for your input. I know now that I'm on the right track
with bcc.
