Thanks for your response Gordon.
I've been wondering how that's going to play out, myself. The first
thing I'd expect ISPs to do is establish an egress filter to disallow
connections to SMTP servers other than their own, entirely. Remote SMTP
servers would probably only be usable if they're available on port 465
(SSL) or 587 (MSA), or via VPN.
What if all clients can only use SMTP ports after authenticating,
and perhaps only then via SSL (465), would such egress filtering
still be required ?
There are a couple of ways to limit mail through your own system.
And aside from your suggestion below ?
There's a "ratelimit" filter in my pythonfilter package that limits the
number of messages per IP, for instance. :)
A single user is probably locked to a single IP so that would be
good enough to work with. URL please ? Any docs ?
So I take there is no native built-in support for courier-mta to
handle outgoing rate limits ?
