This parameter is one built-in to Postfix, and "postconf" does not report user-created parameters. Also, setting this parameter won't "slow" down mail to Yahoo, it will in fact increase the number of messages sent, while lowering the number of recipients per-messages (assuming some messages have more than 2 Yahoo recipients, otherwise it has no effect at all). If your prorblem is output-rate or destination concurrency, you are using the wrong tool. If you must reduce the recipient count per transaction, IIRC Yahoo seems to prefer 10 recipients per-message rather than the RFC required 100. -- Viktor.
