I've temporarily turned it off anyway ... need to figure out a better way
of doing it ... 'submissions' aren't a big issue, as the delay for
greylisting is minimal ... the problem is that majordomo has feature in it
that auto-unsubscribes ppl from the list if their email bounces over N
times ... so, if we send out an email through pgsql-general to 1000
subscribers, and 100 bounce back (reasonably normal), those 100 are all
"new" to the greylisting system, since the return addresses are all
*individual* (<listname>+<unique identifier>@postgresql.org) ... server
load wasn't being affected, but the mail queue on the MX servers were
being bogged down fast, since they were trying to resend *through* the MXs
...
Need to get all the MXs setup first, *then* the main server, so that the
MXs see it as the 'second attempt' and bounce it straight through better
...
Will let y'all know once I have this setup a *wee* bit better to deal with
majordomo's "ACKs" ...
