Hi,
You can dedicate a box called slowmail.abc.com and smtproute all of
these problematic domains to it; just add them as they appear. This way
your queues don't stay jammed full of trash, thus slowing down
everything else.
Now, we are up to 6 low-end pentium boxes for a million mail per 8-9
hours list.
lists.abc.com (front-end box)
lists1.abc.com (sublist carrying 25% of subscribers)
lists2.abc.com (" ")
lists3.abc.com (" ")
lists4.abc.com (" ")
slowmail.abc.com (smtproutes from lists1-4 point here)
