[PLUG] Re: Sendmail Queue

I have a large mail list and it seems the number of Yahoo subscribers has

know the the proper thing to change in sendmail.cf that would limit the

others lists have the same problem.

Are you sure you need to do anything?? I see Yahoo doing rate limiting here all of the time. I do nothing for it though. Yahoo returns a 450 error to my mail server and the mail server tries again later. At that time Yahoo accepts 99% of the messages. The other 1% bounce mostly because the mail boxes are full. :-)
