Hello there,
i'm using Exim in my server, & most domains in my server contain forums which contain many users, now each forum try to send messages to there users, meaning that a forum send one message to too many email accounts (or recipients)
my plan is that i want to only let not more than 500 message to be sent every 15 minutes
so is these options values are right
######## Exim Main Configuration section #############
queue_only = true
split_spool_directory = true
remote_max_parallel = 50
####### Exim Transport Configuration section ##########
max_rcpt = 420
connection_max_messages = 420
may all accept my best regards ,,

You could use the QUEUE target, but you'd need to write a small
