The B 757/767 had a system called rudder ratio system. This reduced the rudder angle for a given pedal input as a function of airspeed, thus reducing fin loads.
I think somewhere in D Davies' book, "Handling the Big Jets" he emphasises in upset recovery to "stay off the rudder", he didn't on the A 300 accident.
