Hi majordomo experts and everyone else :)

Sorry if this is an over-asked or pointless question:

I'm evaluating majordomo at work, on our new Postfix mail server 
running under Redhat 7.1. I've installed it, and am quite happy that 
everything seems to be working the way it should do.

Part of my evaluation will be considering if we could use 
majordomo for mailouts to internal lists of, say, 1000 employees 
(branch managers etc). I'd like to know whether anyone has any 
thoughts towards throttling majordomo so it only sends out 100 
mails one day then 100 the next and so on... I can think of ways to 
do this myself using cron jobs and breaking the lists down into 
smaller lists perhaps. But is there any add ons or 'plugins' already 
out there?

Obviously; such an add-on might allow people to abuse majordomo 
for sending unsolicitated 'spam' mail; so I could quite understand if 
there were deliberately no attempts to develop anything like that.
