Re: Throttling mail sending in Postfix

I found this and I am not quite sure what it does
http://www.postfix.org/smtp-source.1.html

but its some sort of testing/tuning program fir postfix, it has a
parameter:
*-w* /interval/ Wait a fixed time between messages. Suspending one
thread does not affect other delivery threads.

but if you need to modify/bypass the MTA just to do this bulk mail-out
you might be better off just scripting the sending of the email.
