What about changing the parameter in Protocols-&gt;&quot;SMTP&quot;-&gt;Default<wbr /> SMTP site-&gt;Properties-&gt;Delivery<wbr /> Tab-&gt;Outbound connections-&gt;&quot;Limit number of connections to&quot;<br />
Setting this value to 1 will restrict exchange to deliver only one mail at once?<br />
That would be a nice start.

That will bring email message flow to a halt, both inbound and outbound. <br />
Imagine a 10 lane motorway suddenly restricted to one lane. Certainly not a setting I would even consider making. <br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have sent almost 20 mails to a distribution lists (over 200 users per mail) and our ADSL line has gone down (very slow or stopped)<br />
if we disable the outgoing mail queue we can navigate to internet without problems.<br />
<br />
What do we have to activate to let this 20 mails to be delivered with an assigned bandwith limit?, or how to make exchange to deliver only one mail at a time?<br />
<br />
Thanks
