Is it possible to configure postfix with a threshold where if a certain user or IP address sends 1000 emails or more in an hour, they are blocked from sending email for a period of time?


We occasionally have users on our network with infected machines, or perhaps they are actually spammers... and I'd like a mechanism by which a "power user" can get put into "time out"... and then re- enable access after a period of time.


(We manage a network of wi-fi hotpsots around the country, so blocking an IP would block smtp access for all of the users at that hotspot, thus the automatic re-enabling of access after 30mins or so).

Do this in a policy server like policyd.
