What you are doing should work the way you want it. Can you give more
information? Include the full entire stanza from your ACL section,
as well as some sample contents of ratelimits.txt.
It would also be useful to add the following to the ACL stanza that
has the ratelimit in it:
log_message = RATELIMIT EXCEEDED: $authenticated_id / $sender_rate / \
$sender_rate_period
Be sure to include the output of the log entry that is created.
