It's a pretty niche use case. In a traffic-test environment such as yours, it would seem the better approach is to simply have your test tool control the rate at which it injects messages into Postfix. The message stream coming *out* of Postfix may occasionally not be 100% uniform, but hey ... *neither is the real world*. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: 603.293.8485
