sorry folks about the html email.. I didn't realise it..
I know its a strange setup especially for emails that dont have
attachments.. Its logical just to do it for emails with large attachments
if u have a slow link of course.. I guess the main reason for this, is to
slowdown almost real-time email conversions. Its something that isn't as
harsh as banning a handful of sender addresses.. (You know how it is..
You keep on emailing your best friends at their work place constantly during
the day... I'm totally against the idea, but my boss asked me to try &
implement this evil step) My logic to it is to use a method to scan
emails for the selected sender/recipent combinations, take them out of the
main queue into another queue/maildir which the delivery agent is managed by
cron.. Im currently researching as I've only experienced the basic levels
of this fine product..
thanxs..
