Issue with ISP limiting email
My ISP limits email sent from our server to 250 / hr. We have 258 subscribers to our list.
They have recently upgraded the limit to 300 / hr. This means we can send out 1 email / hr
Does mailman offer any functionality to help with this problem? For example, we could approve the messages as they come in and mailman could send them out as allowed?
As of now, we have to "remember" when the last email was approved for distribution. Kinda cumbersome all around.

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/j4A9>. If Mailman is running on your own server and only sending via your ISP, installing the throttle.patch attached to that FAQ may help.
Also see <http://wiki.list.org/display/COM/Mailman+hosting+services>.

Hi Scott:
Mailman does not offer such a feature. My suggestion is to look for an ISP such as ours that does not impose any sending limits on its mailman users.

There is a patch available to mailman that will allow you to throttle the mailman output. See the url
http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030607
This at least will automate the despatch process for you.
You must be running Mailman as a relay, same as myself, and I find that this patch does the job with no fuss although a fix in postfix may be preferred if that is what you are using.
