Hi.

I need to limit the maximum number of outgoing SMTP connections done by Postfix 
for delivering messages.
Our VPS provider is limiting to 5 conns/s, so I need Postfix not to open more 
than 5 connections to remote SMTP servers. 

I cannot use config param *destination_concurrency_limit because they’re 
related to a single recipient domain. So I was pointed to master.cf, where I 
could limit the maximum number of “smtp” processes.

So I changed the smtp (or what I think it is) line as follows:

smtp unix - - y - 5 smtp

Is this the correct approach? I’m asking because it didn’t fully work. I 
delivered a newsletter today and I still got blocked by ISP. 

Thanks
