excellent idea, so I did install the 2.5.4 version from the backport and I now have r...@ohs:~# grep smtp_destination_rate_delay /etc/postfix/main.cf smtp_destination_rate_delay = 10 r...@ohs:~# and I restarted postfix Jan 2 08:03:56 ohs postfix/master[16208]: terminating on signal 15 Jan 2 08:03:58 ohs postfix/master[16312]: daemon started -- version 2.5.4, configuration /etc/postfix and now when I send an email to my mailman mailing list, I still see it sending out emails with no delay.. Jan 2 08:04:52 ohs postfix/smtp[16349]: 72292189FF: to=<someu...@monsterjam.org>, relay=outgoing.verizon.net[206.46.232.12]:25, delay=5.3, delays=0.12/0.51/0.36/4.3, dsn=2.5.0, status=sent (250 2.5.0 Ok.) Jan 2 08:04:52 ohs postfix/qmgr[16316]: 72292189FF: removed Jan 2 08:04:52 ohs postfix/smtp[16347]: 950C118A00: to=<someu...@gmail.com>, relay=outgoing.verizon.net[206.46.232.12]:25, delay=5.2, delays=0.13/0.39/0.37/4.3, dsn=2.5.0, status=sent (250 2.5.0 Ok.)

Jan 2 08:04:52 ohs postfix/qmgr[16316]: 950C118A00: removed so it looks like all three of these went out with no delays inbetween each message, right? regards, Jason
