Thank you for the pointer on submission, I'll be sure to make use of it.

But it raises a question (like i wrote in the reply to Noel), and that
is (as far as i know) that I need to ensure the use of 587 so users
can't "go around" rate limiting on 587 by using 25 for relaying.

Would such a thing be possible to do?
