# rate limiting?

 * Looking at logs, I see that plugin sometimes sends up to 28 emails per second.
   
   With SES Free Tier, my account says “max 14 emails per second”. Is there any 
   way to limit these bursts?
 * (My sending queue is via cron, so minimum setting I can do is once per minute.
   If I set that to 14 (every minute) it will take forever to deliver all.)
 * 14 * 60 = 900 per minute, but if I queue 900 I get these >14/sec bursts.
 * Thanks!
