This is why I'd REALLY like to see some throttling built into Exim. I
suggested it 2 years ago
(http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20030908/msg00116.html)
and while I wouldn't take my suggestion word-for-word any more, the
rate limiting concept with directive similar to the retry
configuration would be nice.

EXPERIMENTAL_THROTTLE=yes :)
