The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Rodrigo Filgueira <address@concealed>]

Hi there everybody,

I seem to have a tuning problem. This morning everithing was working 
allright.
Apparently sympa suspended work with the seminar list because another 
mail was sent to a list with 8000 users.
Is there any document on how to tune up sympa and sendmail so this kind 
of thing don't happen?

thanks everybody for your support
