SORT_RECIPIENTS

An integer value (0, 1, or 2) that determines whether LISTSERV sorts the recipient list in outgoing SMTP jobs. It should be set to 1 for best performance if your mail delivery host is a Unix machine. Other systems do not normally need a pre-sorted recipient list for optimal performance.

SORT_RECIPIENTS=1

If this variable is set to the value 2, LISTSERV will not sort the recipient list if the number of recipients is less than or equal to your MAXBSMTP setting. Conversely, for jobs where the number of recipients is greater than MAXBSMTP, LISTSERV will sort the recipient list (keeping XYZ.COM together and thereby conserving resources).
