IMHO, I know of no out-of-the-box MTA that defaults to handle mailinglist

I've been specializing in e-mail system administration for about
ten years, and doing large systems & performance tuning of e-mail
systems for about six. I can tell you from personal experience that
Postfix is better at handling them out-of-the-box than any other I
know of.
The trick to speedy turnaround is in the MTA
configuration.
Indeed. Hence my references to the two main papers published so
far on this topic, one by Rob Kolstand and one by Strata Chalup.
This is chiefly achieved by using multiple queues, as well
as severely reducing the timeouts such that email being sent to
unreachable/overloaded mailhosts are quickly moved to the bottom of the
delivery stack.
These are some of the standard techniques, yes.
