I recently had to clean up about 30% of old bounces (with a special script
that may become a contrib to sympa), so we went back from 180+k to 153K
subscribers on our biggest list. There's some tuning to do at the
sympa->postfix place, because it's quite a problem that sympa sends
everything down the pipe and postfix gets a bit drowened. So I wrote this
very small wrapper that I call from sympa instead of sendmail:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/sendmail $*
logfile=/var/log/sendmail-sleep/sendmail-sleep.log
time=$(( `ps aux | grep -c smtp`**2 / 10 ))
echo "-----------(sleep "$time"s)---"`date` >> $logfile
echo $* >> $logfile
sleep $time
