Is there an easy way to set a maximum rate for Actionmailer to send out emails? I’m using Amazon SES which drops messages sent at more than 5 per second and i want to avoid hitting that…

There’s no easy solution to this. When you call a
delivermethod, ActionMailer sends the message synchronously: it immediately sends the message, and the caller waits for it to finish sending.So, since ActionMailer isn’t running in the background to process a queue of messages, it can’t really keep track of its rate or postpone a delivery.
But! It looks like Rails 4 will support asynchronous ActionMailer, based on the resque-mailer gem which is usable today (with some extra setup). From there, you might be able to look at limiting the rate at which Resque processes the enqueued jobs.
