Using policyd on CentOS to throttle each account's maximum emails on a per-hour basis

  • 772

I want to apply per-hour mail limits using policyd in CentOS. I want to restrict each email account on the server to only be able to send out a maximum of 50 mails per hour. How can I do that?

  1. I realize this question is old, but it may help others that stumble upon it. Use Quotas!

    http://www.policyd.org/content/quotas

    Just define a quota linked to your default policy that tracks the sender over a period of 3600 seconds,

    Track: Sender:user@domain
Period: 3600

    And then apply a limit to said quota:

    Type: MessageCount
CounterLimit: 50
