Postfix config
Hi,

I have a problem with configuring postfix. Would like pf to limit the amout of mail that a client can send in for example one hour.

Thought maybe this would be a good idea:

Code:
 	smtpd_client_message_rate_limit=

But what happens then is that smtpserver sends maximum amount for that time unit then WAITS until it's ok to send again.

All the mail are finally send, just they get queued until it's done. That is not what I want.

I would like to have the possibility to warn the client and then reject further mail. Not delay to queue.

Is it possible? Should I instead use another parameter which is more sufficent for this task?

Most people recommend policyd on this but I would still prefer to do it within postfix if it is possible.

Would be very greatful for any help, thanks!

postfix-add-filter

POSTFIX-ADD-FILTER(8)					      System Manager's Manual					     POSTFIX-ADD-FILTER(8)

NAME

       postfix-add-filter - add filter service to Postfix master.cf

SYNOPSIS

       postfix-add-filter [smtp service name...] [smtpd port...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  postfix-add-filter(8)  command  adds an smtp service named smtp service name and and smtpd server listening on smtpd port to etc/post-
       fix/master.cf to facilitate integration of SMTP filters such as amavisd-new or clamsmtp.  The configuration is based on the upstream recom-
       mendations for amavisd-new 2.6.0.  Adminstrators should verify it is appropriate for their requirements.

       The original file is copied prior to modification and left in /etc/postfix to make it possible to revert changes easily.

       Available in the Debian package for Postfix version 2.5.3 and later.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If  the given smtp service name or smtpd port already appear in the master.cf, a message will be printed to standard out and master.cf will
       not be modified.

ENVIRONMENT

       MAIL_CONFIG
	      Directory with Postfix configuration files.

	      The postfix-add-filter(8) command should use this, but it currently doesn't.  It is hard coded  to  /etc/postfix.   This	should	be
	      changed.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

       None

FILES

       /etc/postfix/master.cf
