I'm not sure this is possible. Rate limiting is inherently dynamic, so a
static analysis can't tell you much. It should be obvious to a postmaster
that putting a ratelimit condition into a RCPT ACL will apply a rate limit
during a RCPT command, just like any other ACL condition.

Perhaps you have particular questions in mind that could usefully be
answered statically, but I can't think of any that would make it worth the
development time, and that can't already be answered using Exim's
debugging features or ACL warn verbs.
