I don't have very much experience with mail servers, but I'll try nonetheless: Could you let the mail server do the throttling?

I guess that's a common problem, and some mail servers already have a solution for that.

Perhaps you can query the local queue size of your mail server and sleep if there are more than $limit mails in the queue.

Especially when it comes to concurrency I try very hard to find some piece of software that already solves the hard part of the problem, in this case I'd hope for a decent mail server.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
