Is there any way to configure delay in sending mails thru Postfix server (ubuntu 10.04Lts), what I'm trying to limit sending mail to 60 mails/min or 1 mail in 1Sec.

Are you trying to rate-limit globally or per user? – Janne Pikkarainen Jan 20 at 12:19

What goal are you trying to achieve ?

Global rate limiting is almost never the right solution.

Policyd mentioned by mangia is better complete solution to throttle all dispatches.

In postfix however you can throttle delivery per destination with: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#default_destination_rate_delay

Add smtp_destination_rate_delay = 1m for a minute gap between each delivery.
