Re: Ratelimits for outgoing smtp

Thanks but that is throttling by introducing a delay between messages, not by controlling the actual number of messages sent So with that I cannot control the max messages to be sent per minute. ( I know I can get an approximate throttle .. though ) On Mon, 2009-11-23 at 14:53 +0

- is DNS required to do such load balancing (i would rather not use DNS if possible) - if there are 2 "A" records for mysmtpserver, will postfix do round-robin transports or just cache one address for mysmtpserver and push all mail to it? You need to setup at least two A records on DNS and it
