What I was wondering is if there is a way to throttle the SMTP
bandwidth to our internal server from the Solaris servers so that it

supposed to do what I'm looking for in linux:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.ratelimit.single.html
But I'm not sure if the same commands will port to Solaris? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
No, there's nothing similar to that ("Advanced Linux Routing") in
Solaris.
There are apparently milters that can do this. Here's one that google
found:
http://www.milter.info/sendmail/milter-limit/
That milter doesn't appear to allow for bandwidth shaping, just
connection throttling. For shaping on Solaris, it might be necessary
to wait until a project like crossbow completes.
