Exchange 2016 Sending massive email
Hi expert,
We have a system that send circular out, which sometime can reach five thousand email to outsider.
Is there a way in exchange that can queue email to be send out batch by batch?
Or how does exchange manage huge email in the queue?

Be sure your clear about...
Sending Email != Email Deliverability
Sending mass email from your own MTA IPs requires a very long period of warm up + a massive amount of intelligence to any level of deliverability.
You can setup an MTA + send your first bulk email in a few minutes.
For high deliverability... that's another matter... sometimes requiring weeks to months of IP warm up, depending on many factors.
_______
1) We have a system that send circular out, which sometime can reach five thousand email to outsider.
I routinely send many 1,000,000s of email per batch, many times each week... for many projects...
Exchange will certainly work for this + I find Postfix + EXIM far easier to work with... My personal preference...
2) Is there a way in exchange that can queue email to be send out batch by batch?
Yes. Exchange, Postfix, EXIM, any MTA already has built in queuing.
All MTAs require built in queuing, as this is a requirement for implementing SMTP backup resend logic.
3) Or how does exchange manage huge email in the queue?
Exchange is proprietary code, so you will never have a 100% correct answer, because you will never see the source.
For Postfix, EXIM, Sendmail, etc... if you really require an answer, you will review the source code for each MTA.
Tip: You can simply read the SMTP RFC to see how queuing works at a macro level, then review MTA source code to determine micro level implementation of the SMTP RFC in way MTA, as each MTA implements different logic.
