  7. I don't think this has been addressed as an option yet.

  17. This also isn't a feature, but for a quick hack you can just

  18. take it out of the CGI interface. People could still get around

  19. it by issuing a POST with that variable set, but they'd have to

  20. know what they're doing AND want to be malicious. The disadvantage

  21. is that this affects every list on your system. Anyhow, comment

  22. out the section about num_spawns in $prefix/Mailman/MailList.py,

  23. around line 431 or so.

  24. #('num_spawns', mm_cfg.Number, 3, 0,

  25. #'Number of outgoing connections to open at once '

  26. #'(expert users only).',

  27. #"This determines the maximum number of batches into which"

  28. #" a mass posting will be divided."),

  29. I've also done this with host_name, max_message_size, and web_page_url,

  30. but plan on making it a per list config option that can only be set

  31. by the system admin.
