Re: Is there a way to control the delivery rate?
[In reply to]

The reason I need to do this is because we deliver messages to a Yahoo
group and if your delivery rate is "too high" they flag the email address
as being an auto responder and stop delivering messages. Frankly, I
think their solution to this problem is pretty dumb, but I doubt they are
going to change anything for my benefit... ;-) We also have a MSN group,
which employs a similar mechanism (although even more conservative).
Hope that clarifies!
