Those are two very different things. :) Limiting the number of recipients per message is not terribly hard; in filter_recipient you'd just increment the count and tempfail once the limit is reached. The only wrinkle is that you'd have to store the count in a file in the current working directory because you're not guaranteed that filter_recipient is always called in the same process as the previous filter_recipient call. Implementing hourly or daily limits per sender *definitely* requires persistent storage; it has to persist with filesystem lifetime so you're probably looking at a database. In our commercial product, we offer the ability to limit the maximum number of recipients per hour per sender or per sending IP address with a choice to fail or tempfail after the limit is hit. We have to use a database to track this.
