- Is there a way to limit the number of simultaneous outgoing
- sendmail connections to the same address during a queue run?
-
- Very often our mail-relay receives a large number (hundreds)
- of mail messages with identical receipient addresses. During a
- queue run the number of simultaneous sendmail processes connected
- to that address and hanging in the "DATA wait" state grows sometimes
- up to 150. This does't harm our mail-relay, but could drag down
- the receipient host on the other end of the - usually low bandwith -
- line.

- I am running sendmail-5.65c/IDA-1.4.4 on a SUN SS2
