These are monthly statistics so it takes a while for a new server to show
up.

I doubt LISTSERV is a problem or bottleneck here.

With LSMTP you just hand out the messages in chunks of say 2500 addresses
or so. The  more the better, but on  the other hand it does  take a while
for all these RCPT TO to be  acknowledged and you want to keep the engine
busy, not waiting for a large bunch of RCPT TO to be 250ed. Anyway, LSMTP
is self-tuning.
