We have added a new limit:
    G_USER_SEND_IP "1000"
which limits the number of messages a single ip address can
send, to get 
this feature let me know your platform and we'll send you a
new binary.

But it isn't related to a domain, it's just a global limit
for non smtp 
authenticated senders.  This is good for stopping
spammers/abuse/viruses.

No there is no way to set the limits in an external data
source or per 
domain.

On a related topic.  We had someone hijack an account about
a week 
ago and proceed to send out spam.  We stopped it once the
warning 
about the g_user_send_warning triggered.  By then they had
sent 5,000 
messages.  I dropped the threshold to a lower level. 
Knowing we had 
a couple of mailing lists and/or users who send out to
legitimate 
large email address lists I set their IP addresses in the 
g_user_send_white which sets no limit for these IP addresses
and I 
figured they would not trigger the threshold message.  But I
was wrong.

Is there a way to bypass the warning with whitelisted IPs? 
While I 
realize someone could hijack the sending email address, they
are much 
less likely to become infected with some email virus that
will use 
their email account to send spam through our server since
most carry 
their very own smtp code.
