Why would recipient verification be catastrophic? I would think any
responsible system would verify recipients before accepting the mail.

The way I handle these distributions within our company(s) is these types of
mails are sent to an alias that explodes into the actual recipients. I do
this for the very reason stated, it's easier for me to replace someone on
the alias list than manage all the points from which the contact might
originate. Anything that relates to say sales at abc.com, service at abc.com is
handled the same way.
