[Mailman-Users] How about throttling?

[James Reid]

Hi Everyone,

Why not try using outbound QOS (eg Shorewall)?

I'm using it on one of my servers - works perfectly slowing down the amount
of traffic that the server pushes out on to the network.

Regards,
James.

Yes, but read all the caveats and warnings in
Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py.

Don't do it.

Besides, SMTPDirect delivers via the local MTA, so if you're going to
implement throttling in the MTA (as we recommend in the FAQ -
<http://wiki.list.org/x/j4A9>), you still can use SMTPDirect.
