I think limiting NEW outgoing packets to port 25 in the firewall, with a
rule for each remote server you need to throttle, could do the trick.
something like:
for maillimit in ip_limited_1 ip_limited_2; do
iptables -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp -d $maillimit -m state --state NEW
-m limit --limit 200/hour
done
might work for you. Don't know if you should close or reject the
packets after the limit is set with this rule, or how that would affect
the postfix queues.
