Wietse,
Thanks. But now I am confused. From what I understood you to say, I should be
sending 1msg/s
to the next hop, but according to my logs, I am sending ~50msg/s to the relay,
and I would like to
get it to under 5msg/s.

smtp_destination_concurrency_limit has no effect when you turn on
smtp_destination_rate_delay. It specifies a delay BETWEEN deliveries,
meaning the deliveries cannot be in parallel.

There is no smtp_extra_recipient_limit parameter.

The rate limits apply to the next-hop destination. In order
of decreasing precedence, that is:
- the destination in main.cf:transport_maps,
- the destination in main.cf:sender_dependent_relayhost_maps,
- the destination in main.cf:default_transport,
- the destination in main.cf:sender_dependent_default_transport_maps,
- the destination in main.cf:relay_transport,
- the destination in main.cf:relayhost,
- the recipient's domain.
