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

I didn't give enough information. What I really want to do is guarantee bandwidth to an other service (which is very difficult for me to verify), with no limit, only a guaranteed bandwidth of 1500kbps.

The reason I'm limiting smtp was purely as a test, to see iif it works - it doesn't.
So I can assume the other bandwidth pool isn't working either.

What I'm really after is this:
I have a public application server with traffic coming in on port 200

name: application outgoing
destination: 1:65535
source: 200

I then made a traffic selector:
any -> application outgoing -> any

And a bandwidth pool on my external nic:
bandwidth: 1500 kbps
traffic selector: application outgoing

I enable QoS on my external nic and entered the available bandwidth:
downlink: 67000 kbps
uplink: 1900 kbps

Since I don't know how to test if this works, I tried it with the smtp service and timed my mails [:)].

Limiting a service or services or geoup does work I use it extensivly...something isn't configured right. Incoming qos is problematic.....outgoing is the one you have very granular control over. It is hard for me to read in detail on my phone will get back to you tonight once I'm at the office
