Actually, it is already built in to Exim (4.68) to handle this
properly.
Any ratelimit function handled within the not_smtp ACL will increment
by the full recipient count instead of just 1.
Search for the word "recipients_count" in acl.c and you'll see the
code that handles it. It only appears once in the acl.c source file
so it will take you right to it.
