I thought like you but in [1] one of the advantage of using SYMPA is
that software can control the sending rate. At this time I'm using the
MTA to implement a kind of flow control but that's not enough because
can't control the lists priorities using such kind of workaround as
messages spent much more time held in the MTA queue than in SYMPA
queue.

Thank you very much for your fast answers. I think it's not posible to
do what I was trying.
