I am still running v1.

I wonder how the block expiration time is calculated.  

Suppose my message quota is 100, my time limit is 2 hours.

I started sending email at 8am. If I reached my quota at 9:50am, will I be 
blocked until 10:00am or 11:50am? 

It seems that the expiration time is calculated by _date + _time_limit field in 
policyd database throttle table. The _date is the time of the first message. 

Then I would only be blocked for 10 minutes instead of two hours starting from 
when the abuse
occured? So in theory I can time it so that I'd never be blocked if I hit the 
limit near the time limit mark?

Or did I miss understand how does it work? I'd like to be able to block based 
on the time abuse started, not when the timer started.
