This distribution contains the milter-limit program and its modules. This is a
sendmail milter for limiting message send rate by sender.
INSTALLATION
To install the milter type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
*** YOU MUST ALSO INSTALL A PLUGIN BACKEND TO STORE STATISTICS ***
App::Milter::Limit needs a plugin to store mail statistics. Two plugins
maintained by myself are App::Milter::Limit::Plugin::SQLite, and
App::Milter::Limit::Plugin::BerkeleyDB, which use an SQLite database, and a
BerkeleyDB database respectively to store the statistics used by
App::Milter::Limit. You MUST install one of these plugins to use
App::Milter::Limit.
Download your desired plugin from CPAN, and follow their instructions to
install them.
CONFIGURATION
copy the configuration file conf/milter-limit.conf to
/etc/mail/milter-limit.conf and edit it to suit your needs.
The default configuration will use the SQLite plugin and stores statistics in
/var/db/milter-limit.
You also need to tell sendmail about the milter. Add something like the
following to your sendmail.mc and generate a new sendmail.cf:
