Friendly SMTP

[Stryker777]

I am using postfix as my smtp server. Since I have my servers co-located I figured no one would complain about my once a week 200 email mailing list. Some isps got angry though because I was sending too fast.

I DO NOT want to use my isp's smart host because of they have a habit of monitoring (looking at) emails. I think that is a violation of everyones privacy and will not support it.

I havent found a way to delay sending so I only send 1 every so many seconds.

Anyone have any advice on that? A good smarthost package I can forward postfix to? Maybe a postfix setting that will delay between sends?

Thanks

you can lower the number of maxproc for the smtp transport in master.cf
default is 100

Thank you,
Good link there. I dont know how I ever missed it. I have been searching around for days lol. I didnt do maxproc yet because that link had recipient limits listed. Here is what i added to my config. What do you think?

#how many concurrent connections to one host raises if available
initial_destination_concurrency = 2
#cap on how many concurrent connections to one host
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 5
#limit how many messages to one local recipient at a time
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
#Limit to how many recipients one email can have to one host. Breaks into smaller lists if above.
default_destination_recipient_limit = 5


Thanks again!

If they're inclined to do that what makes you think they aren't monitoring all outgoing traffic on port 25?
