We have been using Mailman for about 18 months as a read only list for members of our volunteer organisation.
After a short while we started getting complaints that members were not receiving their e-mails, but could never find a reason why. We happened on the reason recently... Discussion with our web host on another subject, revealed that our mailserver is set to limit outgoing e-mail to 500 per hour as an anti-spam measure. As our mailing list now has about 1000 names on it, half of them are getting their mail dumped by the server every time we send anything. Our host is unwilling to alter the server settings. Is there any way Mailman can be set to "batch process" a single post? (ie, can we send the list one mail, and have it send out the first 450 mails right away, then the next 450 an hour later, etc. until all are gone? We want to leave a 50 e-mail margin for error, and so we can still send ordinary mail in the hours after a mailout.)
