Yes, indeed. But thats the problem off many "non-nativ-english". (I have
the same some times. ;-)

Not always possible. However, you can use authenticated = * in
combination with $authenticated_id in your acl to limit the sending
rate:
  deny
    authenticated = *
    ratelimit = RATE_LIMIT / 1h / per_rcpt / leaky / $authenticated_id
    log_message = Rejected $authenticated_id due over rate with $sender_rate/$sender_rate_period
    message = Rate limited

There are some solutions about spam. One is to do outgoing checks of the
mails. This is not always acceptable in a big organisation. One another
solution is to go the legal way against the spammer. But this is seldom
possible as the spam source is coming from foreign countries.
