Description Anduin Withers 2004-06-04 18:57:09 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET 
CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
I know site specifics vary but it would be nice to throw some sane 
defaults in sendmail.mc for determining when to queue based on load 
average, the maximum number of children, a connection rate throttle, 
etc.

keywords:
confMAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN
confCONNECTION_RATE_THROTTLE

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sendmail-8.12.10-1.1.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Forget to set a throttle on a box and have a few spammers run their 
address books through you.
