Hi,
You might want to 'replace' the postfix sendmail command with
mini_sendmail or something alike, and have that actually forward to
localhost:25 using SMTP. Then you can apply throttling on the localhost
ip, but lose the ability to see which local user was the source.

Yes, the point of my email is that I researched and tried to apply
exactly this configuration, but it did not work. The
smtpd_recipient_restrictions rule they suggest does not appear to
apply to messages that originate on the server. Or at least making

Yes, of course it's about stemming the bleeding. We found the problem
account almost right away and shut it down. It's no longer a problem.

I've been searching for some time, and what I want seems to be fairly
obscure, because I haven't found clear examples of it (at least I
