 The list is a oneway list for announcements only, but as soon as people
 recieve the message, they all come and check the website, which is
 hosted on the same machine, this chews on my bandwith, and brings my
 machine to it's knees. Sometimes the requests time out, and people get
 pissed off.
	You might be able to configure your MTA to do this sort of thing, 
but I don't know of any way to get mailman to do it for you.  Exactly 
how you would configure your MTA to do this will depend on the 
specific MTA you're using, and you should ask that question on the 
supporting newsgroups and/or mailing lists related to your MTA.

[Mailman-Users] Staggering delivery? Howto?

2003-07-11 Thread Angel Gabriel



Is it possible for me to set mailman to deliver, say, 20 mails a minute?
The list is a oneway list for announcements only, but as soon as people
recieve the message, they all come and check the website, which is
hosted on the same machine, this chews on my bandwith, and brings my
machine to it's knees. Sometimes the requests time out, and people get

I mean getting a thousand hits in the space of ten seconds is great,
it's just QoS (Quality of service) that's affected
