Hi!

I`ll try to explain as good as i can(sry for any bad eng.)

I need to set a maximum simultaneous connections to a mailserver. When we send out a newsletter to one of the biggest ISP`s in Norway they block our IP because they allow only 10 simultaneous connections at the time.

When we contacted them, they said that we needed to set this in our mailserver to prevent further blocking.

Where in Exim can i set this? The mailserver is mx.online.no

Best Regards

There is no such feature in exim nor is there anything in DA that would allow you to gracefully send out mail like that. Get yourself a 3rd party scripts that allows this feature. Im sure there are a few that allows you to pump out mail in batches but you can never be guarateed that 10 connections will be used. Never heard of this in my life. How are you supposed to gauge outgoing mail based on the number of connections it opens?
 
Actually there are two ways of doing it with exim discussed here.

Google is our friend. I searched for exim limit connections sending and clicked on I'm Feeling Lucky.

There is but thats only for incoming connection per number of SMTP or # of incoming connection per ip address. We are talking about outgoing, # of outgoing connections.
