Did anyone write a patch to do this? I'm currently suffering large
volumes of commercial email from addresses like:

studentuniverse_04f50a75a780c0eb39921351b3fda6eccb7b8ef3fab3d...@response.whatcounts.com

and I can't figure out a way to throttle it. I'm fine with throttling
all email from @response.whatcounts.com, but that doesn't seem
possible.

I'm using Policyd 1.82.
