Subject:[courier-users] Limit sending mails to 1 per minute / user? Stupid idea?Actions...

Hi,

is it an unrealistic or unintelligent approach to limit the amount of mail that can be sent with a server?

Limiting the possibility to send mail to only once per minute looks to me like a very userfriendly AND abuse-preventing restriction, that could save many admins lots of trouble.

Is there a nice way to do this with courier? I know about "maxrcpts" in the bofh-file, but this is not quite that what I want. I want to prevent abuse of a server by an authenticated user. users should be only able to send 1 mail per minute. In combination with "maxrcpts" this could make a very maintanance-friendly mailsystem as the admin never has to be afraid of (registered) users that are abusing your system.

Please tell me, if I am an complete idiot of thinking such stupid things or if the idea is of interest to anybody and how ot could be implemented.

Thank you very much for your attention, Peter
