You would be blocked until 10:00am, i'm not really sure where you get those other times from. > It seems that the expiration time is calculated by _date + _time_limit field > in policyd database throttle table.

So in theory I can time it so that I'd never be blocked if I hit the > limit near the time limit mark? It's a rolling 2 hour window. You can send 100 messages in that 2 hour window. > 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. The abuse flag triggers when more than 100 messages have attempted to be sent within that rolling 2 hour window.
