Hi Bruce --

Thanks for this pointer, it lead the way to a better solution: fake  
qmail-queue. I spent a few hours today and have something in place  
that emulates the qmail-queue binary and turns around and calls  
Courier's sendmail bin, which includes a "-verp" flag suitable for  
accepting a large number of recipients. Brief testing shows that it  
seems to work for subscribing and posting, so we may be good to go.  
Since this is really more of a MTA thing, it probably makes sense to  
see if Courier-MTA wants to include it. (My draft version is in Perl,  
someone better than I at C coding would need to convert it to.)

Courier-MTA's verp encoding, by the way, encodes some characters that  
qmail doesn't -- I noticed that '-' in a VERPed address on qmail is  
unmodified, on Courier-MTA it gets converted to +2D. Neither here nor  
there, but thought I'd mention it for posterity's sake.

Thanks again!

best,
Jeff
