Exim throttling

[evonet]

Hello, how can I set throttling in Exim? This is exactly what I'm wondering: Let any mail wait 5 seconds before logging out of the server.

In Postfix we were doing this with the following setting:

smtp_transport_rate_delay = 5s


How can we do this setting with exim?

Thanks.

Don't know about delay, but You can decrease load tunning this:

Thank you Zhenyapan,

but queue_run_max doesn't quite satisfy my request.

smtp_transport_rate_delay = 5s

I wish we had Postfix...

I dont think exim has a direct replacemet for this setting. If they do I haven't found it yet.

If they do I haven't found it yet.

They do have a ratelimit = setting but I don't know if that is what you're looking for.

I found something here, read something about routing and higly configurable, but I'm too tired to really have a good look to understand what it says, but maybe it's usefull to somebody.

this is just idea, I don't know how to config for this... just idea

First put all mailing into retry-mechanism.
then after 5sec, let retry-mechanism execute queue for once.
