Limit emails outbound on specific user per hour, hold others in queue
Hey all,
I've got a client that just flat out refuses to listen to my advice on sending out messages. I've advised over and over again to use mail-chimp like services, but they insist on sending it from the internal server. Yesterday, they sent out 10k messages in an hour.
I've advised them to send out 500-1000 an hour to avoid congestion and blacklists. Here is my goal:
1) Users aren't going to be bothered to tell their outlook/script to queue 500 messages at a time in 60 minute period
2) I want the server to accept the queue of X number of messages sent from the account
3) I want the server to send out only 500-1000x per 60 minutes from that specific account, and continue to work through the queue
Do you all have any amazing advice on how to make that happen?
Platform: S2012 R2, Exchange 2013 (completely patched), Fortigate firewall
*NB: I've found the doucmentation for setting rate limits per user per day, but I can't find any details on changing that per hour; and further can't find any notes on having it not spit back the NDR - that is not the desired result.

I want it closed now, since no one seems to have a smart answer. I am hitting object because it's BS that people want to point ***.
