 When we send mail to tor-announce@, we get hundreds of bounces, one from
 each person at yahoo.com give or take.

 More investigation shows that yahoo is giving us a "450 User is receiving
 mail too quickly tnmpmscs (in reply to RCPT TO command)" response for each
 permanent failure.

 I wonder if there's a line we can add in our postfix to slow down (spread
 out) delivery to this domain.
