question about postfix queue scheduler

[Antonio Gutiérrez Mayoral]

Hi all!

My name is Antonio I am currently managing a system with postfix+
spamassassin and Maia.
First of all, sorry for my bad english.
I would like to ask a question. Once in a month,  more or less, I have a
user who sends
a LOT of mails (mailing) to a group of recipients. This list could have
about 2000 recipients.
The email has two pdfs, maybe 2 MB per email.

When this user sends this email, maybe the queue hold about 2000 requests,
today about
300 MB. The problem is that the queue starts to deliver the email and the
other email
which sends the other users, is not being processed until ALL the emails
for this user
has been processed (FIFO queue)

So, the only way I have to deal with is HOLD all messages for this user,
with postsuper -h
and requeue them step by step, maybe 100 emails per 5 minutes. I dont know
if there is
a way for improve this.

The main problem is the email can not be stopped, the emails have to in/out
normally.
And, I cannot say to this user that I cant send this emails... :-) Maybe
the only solution is
install another smtp or an marketing-email app ?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Wietse,

Yes, its a solution, but these emails should be delivered in bussines-time
:-(
(it doesnt matter if it takes 2 hours... but in bussiness time...)

thank you so much!

 Maybe you can automatically HOLD all his mail and then automatically
 release all his mail in the evening.
