I have a realtively small maillist we maintain by hand in outlook and use to
send messages to a group of club members.  It is about 1300 addresses in
size.  Last time I sent a message out I had a handful of them bounce from
hotmail with the error:

...host mx2.hotmail.com[65.54.244.40] said: 552 Too many
    recipients (in reply to RCPT TO command)

I don't know what the limit with hotmail (and msn.com) but apparently I hit
it.

On the postfix box that sends this mail, is there a way I can throttle down
what my postfix server will send out to bites that hotmail will eat?

    main.cf:

        slow_destination_concurrency_limit = 5
        slow_destination_recipient_limit = 10

    transport:
        hotmail.com     slow:hotmail.com

    master.cf:
        slow      unix  -       -       n       -       -       smtp

Then postmap the transport table, and reload.
