You're not listening.  The problem is that of those 50, probably half will 
actually receive the mail - the rest will reject it because your address

No problem at all - you just won't find anybody willing to put that code in 
it, as it is counter to the general principles of Linux and Unix OSes.  We 
have plenty of list server software - why would we put that code into 
Evolution?
