We have a postfix server which we were using to send emails. This server is used by many services. Thus for using Amazon SES, I've integrated our postfix server with SES SMTP interface ( using "http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/postfix.html" ). The configuration is working fine and mails are getting delivered properly.
Now, there is a limit of 5 email/sec, imposed by SES and it raises error '454 Throttling failure: Maximum sending rate exceeded ' if limit exceeds.
I'm a newbie to Postfix. Kindly guide me with the configuration settings in Postfix to make postfix resend the mail when error '454 Throttling failure: Maximum sending rate exceeded' occurs.
Also, how to resend email, when occasionally 'Connection timed out' error occurs with relay server(Amazon SES).

I was wondering the same thing so I tried it out on a fresh postfix install. I found that no additional configuration was required and postfix did indeed retry sending the messages about 5 minutes after original throttling error was reported in the log file.

This is not the actual answer you are asked,but you can bypass the issue with this,
You can add this lines in main.cf file
default_destination_concurrency_limit=1 default_destination_rate_delay=10s
This will increase the time delay but you don't get the error message.
