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!

I am not aware of any way to do what you want using postfix configurations options.

I recommend policyd also.
