Hi all,

We are currently running qmail on out internet gateway. At the moment we
only have a 64k ISDN link which works well most of the day, however
several times per day a few users send out mail to a large group of
recipients with large binary attachments. The users connect MS Exchange
servers which relay through the qmail  gateway. The problem is that out
link gets drowned with the traffic that this generates.

I know that I can limit the number of remote-sends however I cannot
spefily X amount of remote sends to the internet and X to the LAN. What
tends to happen is all the remote-send connects are used for outgoing
mail. Incoming mail just sits in a queue for sometime before being
delivered to the appropriate exchange server.

What I would like to do, if possible is 
        1) Limit the number of outgoing SMTP connection to the internet.
        2) Priorities messages in the queue based on time submitted,
number of recipients and attachment size.

I hope this makes some sense 8)

Kind Regards

Warren J. Beckett
