-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

If you have $SENDMAIL in your recipe, change it to $SENDMAIL -odq.
This will cause the outgoing messages to be queued rather than
delivered immediately. When the queue run happens (usually every 
30 mins ) the messages will be processed serially thus lowering
the impact.
