Remarks
An SMTP server can be overwhelmed by receiving too many messages at a time. For this reason, a direct mail pipeline may need to slow down delivery of messages to the server.
The ThrottleDMLPerformance component simply waits the number of milliseconds specified by the delay_msec key. The Direct Mailer service calculates the delay needed to maintain an appropriate delivery rate. It then sets the delay_msec value in the Context dictionary, which is read by the ThrottleDMLPerformance component.
