I think, if you follow the initial suggestion, limiting the pure number
of distinct addresses per interval, the impact should be relativly low.

Users sending tons of mails to the same destination are not impacted,
users sending a newsletter to a ton of destinations are not impacted, if
you choose a well balanced rate (e.g. for Exim's ratelimit "engine" it's
a subtle difference between 60/1m and 3600/1h.

And, as the ratlimit condition is expanded, you can do what ever your
creativity dictates (e.g. lookup the limits in a database).
