Hi, I'm considering enabling the sender throttling functions in policyd, but am a little unclear about how they work. Having looked at the config file and the readme, my understanding is that:
- an entry is created in the throttle table which describes the number of messages / recipients / bytes / etc allowed per sender. These entries can be created manually or automatically - domain records describe the same details, and are on a sum-total basis rather than functioning as a default from which to clone per-sender records for senders in that domain. These records are only created manually - as messages pass through policyd these quotas are updated and messages accepted / rejected accordingly A few points I'm unclear on: - If somebody sends two messages to the same recipient, their message count increases by 2, but does their recipient count increase by 1 or 2 (ie is policyd keeping track of past recipients)? - If I manually put records in the throttle table, will they stay there indefinitely, or are they purged according to SENDER_INACTIVE_EXPIRE? - Is it possible to only maintain quotas for messages sent by local users and not incoming email to local users? - What's the purpose of the throttle_from_instance table? - What effect does whitelisting have on throttles? Does a message that passes a whitelist get added to a sender's quota?
