We have that already set ... am wondering if the option is not exposed and it 
is a true internal throttling restriction.  The problem is when you have 
something like this in your ossec.conf:

 <global>
    <email_notification>yes</email_notification>
    <email_to>[email protected]</email_to>
    <smtp_server>email.somedomain.com</smtp_server>
    <email_from>[email protected]</email_from>
  </global>

  <email_alerts>
    <email_to>[email protected]</email_to>
    <rule_id>10201, 10202, 10203, 10204</rule_id>
    <event_location>[email protected]</event_location>
    <do_not_delay/>
    <do_not_group/>
  </email_alerts>

can end up that the customer receives alerts for systems that they should not 
see :(
