    Sorry, no such specific setting in Exchange itself. You may want to look at your anti-spam solution on a SMTP gateway to see if that capability exists.

    You can look at the message throttling options here:

    BTW, I know Set-ReceiveConnector has properties : MessageRateLimit and MessageRateSource
    but, the message limited by per minute which is not achieve my requirement. I want to the time slot can be settable. e.g. 10 minutes or 1 hour.

    thanks for the reply.
    I wondering in Set-ReceiveConnector -MessageRateLimit , how to count the message?
    e.g. one external client send an email to my company with 5 recipients and cc to 10 recipients.
    show to count the message in this case, 1 message? 5 message ? 15 message ?
    thanks!

    BTW, we using symantec message gateway and they said this should do on exchange side. :) interesting hahaha

    The time slot is not settable in Exchange, you should look for third-party tools or scripting something.
