Yeah, but even if you try to use the destination host address as the key
(which isn't possible in general because a recipient address may have
multiple destinations) the only thing you can do to limit the rate is
delay the incoming email, which your clients might consider rude. And the
rate that you are measuring is the rate of incoming messages that might
eventually be delivered to the destination in question, not the actual
rate of deliveries.
