Adjust smtp_destination_concurrency_limit in main.cf, or configure
an additional clone of the smtp client in master.cf. Let's assume
that you give it the name "mumble". You would then specify a lower
mumble_destination_concurrency_limit in main.cf.

Same deal: either adjust smtp_destination_rate_delay in main.cf,
or make a mumble clone of the smtp client in master.cf, and specify
a low mumble_destination_rate_delay in main.cf.

Postfix by default sends no more than 50 recipients per MAIL FROM
transaction; there is no lomit on the number of deliveries per SMTP
session.
