Where do you call that ACL from?
The rate limiting examples I have seen, and those I've used for
implementing them myself, are all placed in acl_check_rcpt, which is
where you want to have a check for per-rcpt limits.
Example for authenticated users:
acl_check_rcpt:
warn ratelimit = 0 / 1h / strict
logwrite = :main: \
Rate: $sender_rate/$sender_rate_period \
$message_id \
$sender_address ($sender_host_name[$sender_host_address]) \
-> $local_part@$domain
# Authenticated users limited to 90 messages per minute
deny authenticated = *
ratelimit = 90 / 1m / strict / ${authenticated_id}_minute
message = Sending rate exceeded, $sender_rate/$sender_rate_period \
(max $sender_rate_limit/$sender_rate_period)
logwrite = :main,reject: \
Rate exceeded: $sender_rate/$sender_rate_period \
(max $sender_rate_limit) $message_id \
$sender_address ($sender_host_name[$sender_host_address]) \
-> $local_part@$domain
Example for a smarthost setup:
# Relayed hosts limited to 180 messages per minute
defer message = Sending rate exceeded, $sender_rate/$sender_rate_period \
(max $sender_rate_limit/$sender_rate_period)
ratelimit = 180 / 1m / ${primary_hostname}_minute
hosts = +relay_from_hosts
logwrite = :main: \
Rate exceeded for remote system:
$sender_rate/$sender_rate_period \
(max $sender_rate_limit) $message_id [$sender_host_address] \
-> $local_part@$domain
