I will try sending them in spurts whenever the sending address is my list address. But what I still fail to understand is why the same server, using another address (in Listmonk) is able to successfully deliver over 5,000 mails in less than 10 minutes. The only problem it seems to have is when responses to the posts from my ML start hitting their server. The initial post gets delivered, Responses?

So it's expected. The organization that owns this mailing list also hosts their company email with Google. I might try to contact Google, but how? The channels I know, I have tried, but they don't repond.
