Ah, that seems more unusual. So trying to find out when lots of
addresses that are all sending to one recipient? But do you then
want to block all the sender addresses? Or or the recipient?

In any case, you can set the key to use for the ratelimit, which
should do what you want to do. I prefix keys with a code so they
don't get muddled up. So you should be able to use *something*
like this for senders

ratelimit = 100/1h/strict/per_rcpt/sndr-$sender_address

and then this for recipients

ratelimit = 100/1h/strict/per_addr/rcpt-$local_part@$domain

(both in the RCPT ACL).
