Many hosting providers limit the number of outbound SMTP connections over
time, and exceeding their threshold results in harsh consequences like
dropped connections and unpredictable delays until recovery. It would be
ideal if Postfix supported absolute outbound limits.
Currently, the only workarounds are either complex or have unwanted side
effects.
There are already configuration parameters for limiting traffic by
destination, for example:
* default_destination_concurrency_limit
* default_destination_rate_delay
I'm proposing that we implement the following configuration parameter:
default_rate_delay (default: 0s)
The default amount of delay that is inserted between deliveries.
To enable the delay, specify a non-zero time value (an integral value
plus an optional one-letter suffix that specifies the time unit).
