An SMTP proxy built around inbox.py which attempts to maintain some sanity as your servers begin to send thousands of emails just cause.

The basic premise is emails from a given server or process will happen, but all 1300 aren’t really necessary right this instant. god forbid if you pay by the smtp delivery.
