I think you could set things up so that mailman talks to sendmail / postfix via tcp, which could then be throttled using shorewall

Hi,
James Reid:
The best way I have found to throttle the number of messages coming out of mailman is to use something like the QOS service found in Shorewall.
This allows you to control how much of the available bandwidth is used going out of your server + prioritise SMTP with other protocols.
But he was referring to his server load increasing so much that it ceases to operate in a stable manner, which throttling bandwidth won't help, or will it?
