Hi Qmail users,
Is there a way to limit the number of simultaneous outgoing messages
from the mailing list besides using /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote ?
The problem I am facing is that whenever a user with 8000 emails on a
mailinglist sends an email all other traffic fails

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm not familiar with ezmlm so there might be
something in there (but I doubt it).
It'd be very nice to have a throttling mechanism for outbound messages.
I think a patch for qmail-remote might be appropriate. I'm thinking
something that would limit the frequency with which outbound messages
are sent from any user. This could be a global parameter of seconds (as
/var/qmail/control/queuelifetime is). qmail-remote would keep a time
stamp of the last message sent by each user, and check the previous time
against the current time when sending a message. If the time has
elapsed, send the message, else leave the message in the queue.
Would someone with a little C coding prowess care to delve into the
qmail-remote program?
I don't know if postfix can handle this sort of thing or not. If it can,
it might be worth looking into setting up postfix as an outbound relay
to handle this. Not necessarily a bad option if you ask me.
