As I understand it, this would be setting the Max Processes limit.

That is how you set maxproc, but why do you need 3 for this transport?
This transport points to a rather fragile mail server, in other words, we
are going over their acceptable delivery rate and our Server IP gets banned
unless we do something about rate control. I assumed the Max Processes would
assist with this, but perhaps I am wrong.
And setting the wakeup timer would be like this:
smtphotmail unix - - - 3 - smtp
That is how you set the timer.
Yes, not what I am doing / want to do.
My apologies. Ill go back and start from scratch.
What version of Postfix is this?
Postfix mail_version = 2.5.1
Cheers,

Postfix 2.5.1 is pretty old, the current 2.5 patchlevel is 10.
There have been some changes that could affect your rate
delay controls.
Anyway, for diagnostics you can add a '-o
syslog_name=smtphotmail' to your master.cf entry to verify the
correct transport is being used, or for more info add a -v to
your smtphotmail transport to see what it's up to.
Also see the "slow" transport example under
