"smtp_accept_max_per_connection" is how many messages are received in a single connection, so varying it based on source IP and controlling it within a single connection should be entirely doable with $acl_c_foo. Now, implementing "smtp_accept_max_per_host" would require an external service of some kind, yes. It might well be better to plan to limit that too and design for your approach from the beginning. (But I don't see the flaw in what I said). -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
