Rate limiting Hostinger - Smarthost (sendgrid)

So... After telling me to open port 25 in the firewall and blabla. They admitted today that they are limiting to 5 message per minute. (Which for a panel with 30 accounts and many more email addresses is extremely low.) 

Is there a way to rate limit outgoing mails per minute and not per hour; and send the rest to the queue?

I started implementing Smarthost routing with Sendgrid (at least to clear the current mail queue) but I keep getting 

R=send_via_sendgrid defer (-1) DT=0.000s: remote host address is the local host

Any idea?

  Hey there!  All the email limits we have in place are hourly, so I don't have anything that would provide a minute-by-minute limit for email.

  cPRex Can this be done per server? (not on account level) This could already mitigated the "throttling" of the host

  There's no way that I know of to perform such a task on a cPanel server with our built-in tools.  If you'd like to see something like that I'd recommend submitting a feature request at features.cpanel.net and I can bring that up with the email team, but obviously that won't help you in the current situation.

  Ok thanks - seems SmartHost is the way to go.
  If I use Mailgun as SmartHost do I need to declare every domain? (the tutorial is not 100% clear on that)

  If you're using the details here:

  https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/360052412573-How-to-configure-a-third-party-smarthost-for-your-cPanel-server

  then no, you can just specify that wildcard and it will work for all domains.
