This is a C program to do "bulk" mailing.  For input, it takes a file of
recipient addresses (one address per line) and a message (with headers
already attached) to be sent to the recipients.  It sorts the recipient
list by reversed domain (so similar ones sort together), splits up the
recipients into several groups containing no more than N domains each,
creates an SMTP envelope for each group of recipients, and feeds that
envelope to "/usr/lib/sendmail -bs".

Splitting the envelopes up allows sendmail to perform delivery in
parallel, so instead of having one large queue entry (for which sendmail
might take awhile to get around to attempting delivery for some
recipients), it has several smaller queue entries.  Depending on your
point-of-view, this can still be considered "cluttering up your mail
queue", but it does seem to deliver messages more quickly to most
recipients.
