Hi everyone.

We've been using postfix + AuthSMTP for quite awhile for our outgoing email 
notifications. AuthSMTP is getting kind of expensive, so I'm trying to switch 
to Amazon's Simple Email Service. I've successfully configured postfix to send 
through SES and it works great, but Amazon throttles you heavily until you've 
proven yourself as a good email citizen, so we can't just flip the switch to it.

What I'd like to achieve is having amazon-ses as the default transport, and 
when it starts getting failures, falling back to the authsmtp transport for 
some time before attempting aws-email again. This would let us send as much as 
possible through amazon, hopefully getting our quota raised quickly. (We have 
an aws-email transport set up that sends through a perl script that returns an 
error on quota overages.)

I've scoured the postfix config docs for a couple hours, but nothing stands out 
to me as able to do this. The closest thing I can find are the 
*_destination_concurrency_* options, but those appear to be specific to 
destinations, not the transports themselves.

Is there some way to accomplish this in postfix?
