Well... *IF* you're willing to accept that for a reasonably large mailing, you
are almost guaranteed that you're failing to deliver to 5-10% of the recipients
on the first try, and that all it takes is a 10-second outage of a single
router somewhere upstream from you to make sure that you just lost 100% of the
recipients, yes, I suppose you *could* configure the mail system that Listserv
is using to do this.

Personally, I wouldn't try that sort of stunt unless I already had a new job
offer in my pocket....

I suspect that you're trying to solve some other problem by only attempting
delivery once, and that there's a better solution - but without knowing what
problem you're trying to solve, we can't recommend one...
