Question Sendmail, interval between mailsending?


I have a simple question. Is it any setting or way of configuring sendmail som it waits X seconds after sending a mail before sending the next one if there is several mails in the queue?

I need this for my forum when people subscribe to mail so that the isp's don't take topic subscribe mail as spam

You can alter how often sendmail runs the queue with a startup parameter. For example, to process the queue every 30 minutes:
Code:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m
But I haven't seen a setting that introduces a wait between each individual message.
