The current implimentation of mmdf as shipped by SCO indeed does
que a copy for every address on the "To:", "Cc:" and "Bcc:" lines.

You can probably appreciate what that means to the site running
the biz.sco.* newsgroups/mailing lists gateway.  We had a _major_
need not to send _hundreds_ of copies of the same article upstream
for each article submitted through the gateway(s).  Accordingly we
became involved in SCO's new binary snapshot program, running SCOs
future implimentation of mmdf II level 43, which admirably addresses
this and other features.  This has caused our volume going upstream
to drop from about 40megs daily to about 1 meg daily, even though
the mlists have grown somewhat.   Note that the next limitation
you will run into is the Bourne shell limitation of a 1024 char
command line, but we can live with that one for now.

Look for it in the next revision of SCO UNIX, likely early next year.
I should comment that I understand that this portion of the "binary
snapshot program" is likely now closed, so you'll have to wait unti
the new release to address your problem.

Note that none of the above comments are "official" in that of course
I don't speak for SCO; I'm only providing a bit of info on the problem.
