Sujet: RE: [Exim] IS it possible? An idea may be
What config do you use to stop a user sending more than 10 emails?

Problem i have is because i deal with a freeisp i cannot block an ip address
as it could be reassigned when someone else dials up.
I need to dynamically stop someone emailing more than say 10-20 messages in
a given time and need to stop sending to more than say 10-20 people at the
same domain to protect against random addressing.

Any ideas?
Dave

Ah, outgoing mail? Then I'd strongly recommend taking a look at the DCC
(http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/)

The description on the site above is how to set it up as an inbound bulkmail
checker, exchanging checksum floods with peering dcc sites ... but you can
set it up to be standalone as well.

Or you could do what we do - find the account and freeze it if it starts
sending more than a certain number of emails per 10 minutes.
