[Postfixbuch-users] Feature: output rate limiting

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Der aktuelle Snashot hat endlich ein "output rate limiting" (ich will
maximal X Mails pro Zeiteinheit senden):

Major changes with Postfix snapshot 20071202
============================================

Output rate control in the queue manager. For example, specify
"smtp_delivery_rate_delay = 5m", to pause five minutes between
message deliveries. More information in the postconf(5) manual
under "default_delivery_rate_delay".

postconf(5) man page:
=====================
default_delivery_rate_delay (default: 0s)

The default amount of delay that is inserted between individual
deliveries to the same destination; with per-destination recipient
limit>1, a destination is a domain, otherwise it is a recipient.

To enable the delay, specify a non-zero time value (an integral value
plus an optional one-letter suffix that specifies the time unit).

Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks). The
default time unit is s (seconds).

NOTE: the delay is enforced by the queue manager. The delay timer state
does not survive "postfix reload" or "postfix stop".

Use transport_delivery_rate_delay to specify a transport-specific
override, where transport is the master.cf name of the message delivery
transport.
