I am trying to throttle my mailer so that we don't get errors from our hosting service, so I went into the CiviMail mailer settings and set the Mailer Throttle Time to 1000 (hoping this will limit CiviMail to sending out only 1 mail per second). However, it still seems to be blasting them out at full speed.

Is there anything else I must change or enable to make sure that the mailer gets throttled?

Thanks

Just stumbled upon this post.. for me, "Mailer Throttle Time" seems to work. Anyway, you should pay attention to the fact that the delay is in microseconds. In order to be on the safe side on Bluehost, which currently allows for a maximum of 150 emails per hour, I set it to send a mail every 100 seconds (should send just 36 email per hour). The value I had to put was 100000000.
If you wanted to have it send one email per second, you should put 1000000.
