Here is a post about this: [How to set Email sending speed limit? - #2 by pfaffman](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-set-email-sending-speed-limit/140974/2)

There was a recent topic that I can’t find now in which someone had found a partial solution by editing the core code.

There is already a global variable which specifies the number of digests to send (rate limit) per 30 minutes.

Are you talking about digests?

If so, you can set:

```ruby
GlobalSetting.max_digests_enqueued_per_30_mins_per_site

```

For per hour, just divide your per hour rate by two and set the global above (for digests) 🙂
