    Give the sales group their own dedicated mail server for outgoing
    mail (can be another instance of postfix on the existing server, on a
    different IP) and use QoS on your router or firewall to limit
    outgoing mail bandwidth for that IP.

    Sell this to the sales group by calling it a dedicated server to
    better handle their needs.

    Harmony is restored to the universe.
