Firstly, I wanted to point out that the free service will not be changing and we will be allowing 10,000 Queries within a rolling 30 day window, what will be changing is all those that are excessively exceeding that volume will no longer be able to
This wont bother us as we disable all BL's/whitelist/reputation style services in SA (we'd hit 10K in an hour anyway) and have postfix alone make these decisions by a select few RBL's, most of which we have local databases for.
10K queries a month sounds a lot, but is only 13 requests an hour. I certainly hope nobody has you in their MTA.
But using SA, a small office or home business would get away with this, especially if they use standard RBL's where they should be used - upfront in postfix, sendmail, etc, blocking the crap, so SA wont be doing probe lookups slurping up your query limits faster than a kid flying down a water slide in middle of summer, it'll be doing requests for actual messages.
I think that's really what small free tiers are targeted towards, not for those reselling services, so I think 10K is enough for a home business or small office, and if it's not, they need to configure their network correctly so SA only processes only what the MTA passes.
