Mailman is not using internet bandwidth (unless the outgoing MTA is remote). This is the outgoing MTA delivering the message to the recipients. >I'm looking at implementing QOS on my internet router with a view to giving >mailman traffic a low priority, but am also wondering if I can slow things >down at the mailman end. This has been discussed many times on this list (also see <http://wiki.list.org/x/j4A9>). There are no Mailman settings which can be used to limit Mailman's sending rate. >Could someone give me some suggestions? Don't allow 1MB posts to large lists.
