I've been trying to make this happen and I can't seem to get it.. so I'm
wondering what I'm doing wrong..
I'm trying to just figure out how rate limiting works.. I have this:
warn
#message = sorry, too busy. Try again later. [You are Deferred]
ratelimit = 0 / 1m / strict
log_message = [RateLimited] $sender_host_address / $sender_rate /
$sender_rate_period / $sender_rate_limit
This seems to work I get things like this:

What I'm wondering.. is if I can rate limit by cidr..
I see the example here:
http://exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/ch39.html#SECTratelimiting
# Restrict incoming rate from each host, with a default
# set using a macro and special cases looked up in a table.
defer
message = Sender rate exceeds $sender_rate_limit \
messages per $sender_rate_period
ratelimit = ${lookup {$sender_host_address} \
cdb {DB/ratelimits.cdb} \
{$value} {RATELIMIT} }
what does that look like? Whats in that ratelimits.cdb and what is
RATELIMIT
