I've not used sendmail in years, but I do recall within sendmail.cf you
should be able to add:

MAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE=15

I think that'll work.

Also a quick look in google found : http://www.sans.org/rr/papers/19/582.pdf

It's not directly aimed at the MAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE values but does include
some other techniques for preventing spam which may be of some use.

Hope this helps,

Simon
