[Sorry, I meant to say main.cf]

Also you can use generic os based or (if you dont want to touch the 
hosts involved) router based traffic shaping on 
outbound smtp. If you have a cisco router you can write an acl to 
match outbound smtp traffic and rate shape it as it passes an interface 
threshold.

interface Gigabit0/0
  ! uplink
  traffic-shape group 161 1250000
interface Gigabit0/1.101
  ! downlink
  traffic-shape group 161 1250000

access-list 161 remark smtp traffic shaping
access-list 161 permit tcp a.b.c.d 0.0.0.x any eq 25
access-list 161 permit tcp any eq 25 a.b.c.d 0.0.0.x

x = 0 if you are matching a single host, or you can use say 0.0.0.7 if you 
need to match a /20 worth of mail servers.

If you are natting between the interfaces you will also need to take that 
into acct on the acl.
