i have just changed hackers to use bulk_mailer.  bulk_mailer will sort the
subscribers of hackers and send the message to groups of 20 hosts.  if
there are more than one subscriber at a single host, all of those
subscribers will be included in the same mail envelope.  each envelope
will be processed by a separate sendmail. 

we should see a significant speed up in delivery.  i have added myself as 
the last addressee on each envelope.  i will be able to measure how long 
it takes to process all the addresses in hackers (assuming that sendmail 
does each address in the qf file in order, not skipping on if an address 
times out.  can someone confirm this??)
