A normal user is NEVER going to hit these limits. As documented,
anvil is for out-of-control clients. It is not a traffic quota
tool, and must not be used for that purpose.
OK, but if the numbers were lowered to ... oh, say
smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 8
smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 20
A normal user is still never going to hit them I'd think.
Obviously, on a large server with a LAN or a lot of people maybe
behind a single IP those numbers wouldn't work.
OTOH, I'm not changing anything at this point.
