No, you misunderstand.  You tempfail all but the first recipient;
this lets you filter the mail knowing only one recipient will get it.

On the next transmission, do the same thing.  Eventually, all the recipients
will take turns being "first" and the mail will be completely processed.

There are, of course, serious practical problems with this.  In fact,
it's not feasible for real-world situations.
