Hello,

I have hit the limits of my ISPs mailserver while subscribing to the
Debian BTS and the queue was runing for over 4000 messages at once.

Q 1:  If a customer use my "courier-mta" as relay, how can I  limit  the
      outgoing queue to for example 1 message in 10 seconds?

There's no such rate limiting option available. Courier will, generally, send mail at the first available attempt. There is an upper limit, but it's a different one. Courier will, by default, open no more than four separate connections to the same destination domain (could be different individual MXs, or a single MX). Any additional messages to the domain gets held until one of the existing connections finishes delivering its message.

Q 2:  The Debian BTS received my messages (647) over 2 hours and then
      there is nothing for a long time and then it send out 1294
      messages in batch at once...  which can hit the incoming queue.
      Is there a possibility to delay the threatment of the incoming
      queue?

Not sure what you mean. Courier itself will accept a maximum of 5 simultaneous connections from the same /24's worth of IPs, and/or up to 5 simultaneous connections from a single IP address. That's set in the esmtpd configuration file. That's the only available rate limiting.
