Or, alternatively, teaching MAILER to DISTRIBUTE. Before you laugh, if
you are on node A, sending to one user on each of B, C, and D:
A-----B-----C------D (nothing fancy)
You get three separate BSMTP files, one each for B, C, and D. But, if
MAILER knew the topology (like LISTSERV does) it could generate a single
BSMTP file with RCPT TO: each of B/C/D, and forward the file to 'B'. It
then does its local delivery, and forwards on the 'C/D' remainder to C,
and so forth. In other words, you could do a LISTSERV 'distribute' using
BSMTP if you knew how to split the recipients, and where to send the
packets.
