[Mimedefang] yahoo mail

Hello.

Last day, I watched the sendmail log.
All was fine, except one thing.
There is one user (with yahoo mail) who send a message to users in my
company.
I have seen that the message is sent many times (once for every user),
and not once to multiple recipients.
So, my mail gateway gets overloaded.
When the mail gateway boots, it runs 3 MD processes and a max of 10 MD
processes. This machine (celeron 266MHz 64MB ram) handles about 1000
messages/day.
I think I will limit the sendmail children processes (O
MaxDaemonChildren=10), because increasing the MD max processes will
overload the system.
Any comments?

This is a piece of sendmail log:
