Traffic Shaper on outgoing emails?

hi forum,

ASG220 with exchange 2003 behind. mail security activated - everything is fine, except when a newsletter is send out. the mails are in the SMTP spooler on the ASG and delivery is in process - this cuts down the complete internet traffic, meaning that even opening a website is not possible anymore. 
the uplink is on it's limit (512kbit/sec)

is there a possibility to shape down the traffic, e.g. that outgoing mails from the ASG must not take more than 256kbit/sec, so that surfing is still possible while mails are delivered?

if so (and i think there should be something like that) it would be great if someone gives my guidance.

thanks
GrEEtz
