Hi!
Could you possibly setup a second mail account in your users' mail client
(with an external smtp server, rest identical if possible) and teach them to
use this account when sending out multi-recipient mailings? This assumes
that your upstream ISP allows you to do so.
Regards
Dirk

Subject: [courier-users] Multirecipient mail routing.
Hi!
I am administering server running courier 0.41 connected to
the Internet
via "thin" line. This line is overloaded all the time due to
the heavy
traffic generated by multirecipient mails. People in organization,
owning the server, are sending _really_big_ mails (with
fotos, included
docs etc.) to many clients, i.e. they are adding several "to"
lines to
the header. I've tried to resolve the problem by adding line
":some.host.on.very.wide.channel" to the esmtproutes, but it didn't
help. Courier is still sending the copy of message per every
recipient
to that server instead of sending one message with multiple
"to" lines.
I can't just change "outgoing SMTP" setting in user's mail clients
because in that case all local traffic (even heavier, than external)
will be redirected to the external server. So, the question
is: how to
force courier to forward multirecipient mails to external
server as one
mail with multiple "to" (bcc, cc) lines ?
Thanks for help.
