Thanks, Philip. Didn't look hard enough, as usual.

Looking at the reject log, I count 31 different addressees, and as the
entries have the same time stamp, I assume it's a single connection as
"dman" mentioned.

Hmmm.... reading the spec, it seems that for cases like the above,
smtp_rate_limit_hosts combined with smtp_ratelimit_rcpt and
smtp_ratelimit_mail would take care of the issue.
