LKML deliveries are handled by a number of machines in the USA and
Europe, IIRC.

I suggest you find out what the AS number is for the MX of each and
every email address on the list. Now, given your set of distribution
servers, find out what distribution server is closest to that MX with
regard to the number of AS hops in between. And setup a database to
determine what email-addresses should be delivered by which server
according to that information.
Toh.
