Assumpte: [exim] [PATCH] ratelimit improvements
I have been working on some improvements to Exim's ratelimit ACL
condition. I think it basically works, so I thought it would be helpful to
get some feedback on it before the next release. Here's the draft of the
NewStuff entry, and the patch is after my .sig:

    The code now checks that the per_* options are not used in ACLs where it
    does not make sense, for example using per_mail in acl_smtp_helo or any
    other time when Exim is not handling a message.


    The /leaky, /strict, and /noupdate options are now alternatives.
    (Previously the /noupdate option was in addition to /strict or /leaky.)
    Also, the update mode is no longer recorded in the database, which may
    cause clashes if you are using /leaky and /strict with the same key.


    The first new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
    of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
    aggregate values. For example, the /per_byte option is now equivalent
    to /per_mail/count=${if <{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }, and
    when it isn't used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option is equivalent
    to /per_mail/count=$recipients_count.


    The other new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
    events. The new /per_addr option counts the number of different
    recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period.
    Like the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the /per_addr
    option is equivalent to /per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can,
    for example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender
    addresses with the options /per_mail/unique=$sender_address.


    For each ratelimit key Exim stores the set of /unique= values that it
    has seen for that key. The whole set is thrown away when it is older
    than the rate smoothing period, so each different event is counted at
    most once per period. In /leaky mode, an event that causes the client
    to go over the limit is not added to the set, in the same way that the
    client's recorded rate is not updated in the same situation.


    The /unique= mechanism needs more space in the ratelimit database than
    the other ratelimit options in order to store the event set. The number
    of unique values is potentially as large as the rate limit, so the
    extra space required increases with larger limits.


    The uniqueification is not perfect: there is a small probability that a
    new event will appear to have happened before. For rates less than the
    limit it is more than 99.9% correct. However in /strict mode the
    measured rate can go above the limit, and this can cause Exim to under-
    count events by a significant margin. Fortunately, if the rate is high
    enough (2.7 times the limit) that the false positive rate goes above
    9%, then the over-full event set will be thrown away before the
    measured rate falls below the limit. Therefore the only harm should be
    that exceptionally high sending rates are logged incorrectly; any
    countermeasures you configure will be as effective as intended.


    The exim_dumpdb utility does not display /unique= event sets because they
    are represented in a form that makes a human-readable representation
    impossible. However you can use exim_fixdb to test membership of a set or
    to add events to it.


Tony.
