Hi Esio,  
do you also have an idea how to make sure we stay below the rate limit or identify when a rate limit is reached?

I came across this: [Messenger: Sync & Queued Message Handling (Symfony Docs)](https://symfony.com/doc/current/messenger.html#rate-limited-transport)  
and started a discussion here:

> [@Rate Limiting sending](https://forum.mautic.org/t/rate-limiting-sending/37493):

> Could this approach help to stay below rate limits of e.g AWS SES? Would that mean to install some more components, or would we need to get deep into changes with Mautic Code?
