I'm sure there was an issue with Postfix with loads of recipients (I'm 
sure the limitation I;m using has some reason to it :)). As far as I 
remember it treated the entire message as a whole, when it checked 
against timeout. On the other hand, every recipient triggers a delivery 
method you can find in 'master' config. So when you have some kind of 
converstion (Word2PS in my case) it happenend for every recipient 
separately. You can see it can be quite a while, when the file is large. 
The the timeout kicked in and the message got  "redelivered". I think 
sending the mails individually should solve this problem if you can 
automate it.
I've also seen a faxing system that took all the additional destination 
in a message body (the line had to be specially formated). Although 
sending faxes like that was such a pain in the ...  that I wouldn't 
recommend it :)
