Although untested, here is how I set mine up, can anyone confirm this
would work for the OPs question?

anvil_rate_time_unit    = 60m
smtpd_recipient_limit = 100
smtpd_recipient_overshoot_limit = 20
smtpd_client_message_rate_limit = 100
smtpd_client_recipient_rate_limit = 100
smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 50

policyd or some other policy service is a much better solution.

The anvil rate limits are intended to prevent runaway clients from melting your server, and not intended for traffic shaping or quotas. Using anvil as a quota mechanism is likely to cause extreme delivery delays, possibly other delivery problems.

Anvil limits should be set high enough that they are never triggered by any legit client.
