sendmail and limit of number mesages

Hi!
I'm pretty new to sendmail so please be gentle:) My question is - what
is the default number of sent message in certain period of time and how
to change this limits? I mean - I have to send quite a lot of messages
(bo cool - it's not spam!) and I use phpmailer for that. But after ~40
sent mails I obtain errors with further sending. I'm not sure if it's too
much for some time or too fast?
Thanks in advance.

Usually there is no limit, what error message did you received?

The configuration allows for setting limits, if you didn't set one
then someone else did. The description of the parameters is usually
in cf/README which is in the code directory but many distributions
also put somewhere else (so you can change sendmail's configuration), /
lib/sendmail or /etc/sendmail are common places.

Look for SMTP_MAILER_MAXMSGS, SMTP_MAILER_MAXRCPTS,
RELAY_MAILER_MAXMSGS, confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE.

I don't exactly know. I use phpmailer and I just obtained standard error
message "There was an error sending message". What is strange it was
after 30-40 sent message.

No one could set limits. It's only my computer. Freshly installed
slackware 12. I've found in manual "-h" switch and I was concerned its
explanation which I don't get.
Best regards.
