Hello list I use sendmail-8.14.4-8.el6.x86_64 and I wonder how to restrict the number of emails sendmail sent over an hour. Is the define(`confMAX_QUEUE_RUN_SIZE', `200') command what I'm looking for? Thank you in advance.

www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/m4/tweaking_config.html#confMAX_QUEUE_RUN_SIZE that setting pertains to queued email... not email that entered the queue and was successfully delivered.

sendmail does not provide 'rate limit emails' functionality by default.
