in Sendmail, RCPT TO throttle doesn't occur with lots of rcpt to commands.. it happens when more than the user threshold of BAD recpt to's is crossed.
I have mine set for 2.
I have 15 people on my server... and between 2 of us, we block > 5000 spams per month (it's gone up a lot recently - so I don't have new numbers yet).
How many "unknown users" should I tolerate on my system with 15 users. I think 2 is pretty fair.
So, AFTER the originating server asks to send mail to more than 2 bad usernames, the connection is throttled. Anyone who wants to up the limit can just edit sendmail if they want (Hey the source is freely available). I choose to just blackhole the site.

Do you think we can get enough people to do that to convince the qmail author that the SMTP design really does have good reasons for handling multiple recipients per message?
