Could anybody guide me on the following bit of code for Exim (ver 4.68). It is
designed as a 'test only' at this stage, until I can get the numbers right
Does the ratelimit command updates its stats every time it is called, if so do
I need to use the no update options on any subsequent use.
Any other comments will be gratefully accepted.
# ------------------------- Rate limit section ---------------------------
# System-wide rate limit 10 per 1 sec (36,000 per hour)
warn ratelimit = 10 / 1s / $primary_hostname
log_message = System rate limit exc$sender_rate /
$sender_rate_period
# Rate limit remote servers 20 emails per 10 mins (60 per hour)
warn ratelimit = 20 / 10m / strict
hosts = !+relay_from_hosts
senders =
!lsearch;/usr/local/exim/tables/ratelimit_whitelist.txt
log_message = Remote sender rate limit $sender_rate /
$sender_rate_period
# Rate limiting per local server 1000 per 1 hour (1000 per hour)
warn ratelimit = 1000/ 1h / strict
hosts = +relay_from_hosts
senders =
!lsearch;/usr/local/exim/tables/ratelimit_whitelist.txt
log_message = Local sender rate limit $sender_rate /
$sender_rate_period
# Per user rate limiting 100 per hour (100 per hour)
warn ratelimit = 100 / 1h / per_rcpt / strict
senders =
!lsearch;/usr/local/exim/tables/ratelimit_whitelist.txt
log_message = Per user sender rate limit $sender_rate /
$sender_rate_period
Many thanks,
Graham Butler
