Is there any throttle feature in mailman that manages the high traffic of emails in a way that I can make sure no email will be rejected or returned?
Two possibly related features available on the LISTSERV product are (1) limiting postings per listmember and (2) per list. We have a Sympa list in Poland that migrated from LISTSERV to Sympa few years ago but neither of those settings are available on Sympa. It seems that those low level accounting functions should not be imposed on moderators and now a part of the list membership is considering moving the list to mailman if these features could be supported or to LISTSERV free version if not. Could they be implemented on mailman (or postfix, exim, sendmail)? is it possible to use mailmain with LSMTP on Gnu/Linux? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
Apologies if this should have gone to a developers forum. I don't know where that is.
See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/j4A9> and the throttle.patch linked therefrom.

Mailman is open source so anyone is free to modify it to include these features. It shouldn't be too difficult for someone familiar with Mailman's internals.
It is very unlikely that these features will ever be implemented/included in a GNU Mailman 2.1 release. Possibly they could be considered for Mailman 3. You could submit a feature request (bug report) at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+filebug> and tag it 'mailman3'.

Isn't LSMTP a Windows product?

Thanks, Mark. Apparently the option to provide for limiting postings is a hard problem. The Sympa people didn't know whether it could be accomplised with a scenario or not. I will start reading the mailman developers archive and submit a request for such features in mailman ver. 3.

I hope you're right about that assessment of the difficulty. If it really is rather easy, I would be willing to pay a python (or Linux) wizard to add that functionality.

I know that there is a limited free version of LISTSERV that runs on Gnu/Linux but I don't know if LSMTP can be used in that context.
