Perhaps you wanted to give the --prefix argument to configure or
something. Nevertheless, I'm sure what you did will have worked fine.

I think this is something that should be done at the MTA level, not via
Mlmmj. Multiple mailing lists and any other mail routed through the
server will all contribute to Hotmail's limit, so only Postfix as the
central point of control has enough information to enforce rate
limiting. A quick Google turns up this, which should give you a starting
point for investigation:

Indeed, it will. If not, something is broken somewhere, and we will have
to investigate further....
