  rob kolstad found sendmail to be limited to 120k emails per hour
  (eph?).  its in a LISA paper he did recently.  see www.usenix.org.

  moving mailing list delivery from sendmail to postfix has resulted
  in noticeably faster service at lower loads and less memory usage.

  can you tell me about the sendmail configuration you are
  referencing?
