If it helps, here's how we do it with IMP. Email is sent using the
command line rather than via SMTP so we catch it in the notsmtp acl.
First we parse out the username from the received header (which IMP
adds) with:

warn set acl_m0 = ${if
match{$h_Received:}{\N.+<([^>@]+)@localhost>;\N}{$1}{}}

Then we freeze any mail in the queue that exceeds the ratelimit with:

warn condition = ${if !eq{$acl_m0}{}}
      ratelimit = 100 / 1d / leaky / user-$acl_m0
      control   = freeze
