We've got imp set up with permissions to restrict the max

It doesn't work like a password lockout mechanism does. When IMP
goes to send a message, it does a SELECT on the imp_sentmail table
in your database to find out how many messages/recipients there were
in the last X hours for your user. If there are more than the max
recipients limit, sending is denied. So think of it like a sliding
window.
Right! What we want (or what I'm being asked about) is being able to
arbitrarily change X, thereby shrinking or expanding the window.
Also, is there a mechanism in place where the admin can be emailed
when someone gets into this trap?
Not that I've seen, but it is pretty trivial to script that.
The way we did it in previous versions was to hack the source and spew
a message to the logs (which then got picked up by syslog-ng) when a
user hit their limit. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that...
Here is a perl script I use to show "heavy" users:
Thanks! I'll give that a try!
