Hi

I have an ezine with about 10,000 subscribers on a RAQ4

In 90% when I send a mailout, which averages between 2 and 10kb in size; no matter what mailer I use, including the servers own mailing list manager (majordomo?) I get 'broken pipe errors'.

This is usually shown with 'error loading shared libraries'.

Anybody any ideas?

Thanks

It sounds like you're trying to send 10,000 emails at the exact same time, and this exhausts all memory on your server.

Do you know how I can 'stem' or control the flow, then?

Thanks
