In my experience with James (we're using 2.2.0), James will still send out one email at a time, creating 400 connections to the MX pool for gmail. This may have changed in later versions, but, YMMV. > Is there a chance that if you send a lot of mails at once that > the recieving server will reject them? In my experience, we've noticed that sometimes the MX hosts will actively reject or drop the mail while we're sending it out. James will stick it in the outgoing directory, and retry using the rules that we've defined. We've taken a somewhat aggressive stance, telling James to redirect every minute, and that seems to alleviate some of that. > Is there a way to regulate how many > mails are sent at at a time by the ListServ mailets or RemoteDelivery > Mailet? I'm unsure of that one -- maybe someone on the list with a little more experience with the ListServ mailet can address it.
