Is there a way to throttle the number of emails that the digest function tries to send at once? I currently use AWS SES, which has a limit of 14 emails per second.
Is it possible for Discourse to send only 2-3 emails per second as an example/?

Hi Timelord 🙂
That might be an answer :

> Given that there are some emails on my forum that are “queued,” I believe there’s a queuing algorithm. I’d be surprised if any mail provider would allow sending more than 14 emails per second, as that could easily be flagged as spam. You can check the status of your emails in Admin → Emails → Sent.

Is this built into Discourse core? Some kind of queuing mechanism, or does it just send everything as fast as it can?
