SMTP throttle

Hello,
why not include directly a throttle in the SMTP engine for everybody, for ex 1 per domain per seconde

Who makes a product like this and how much does it cost?

Hi Serra,
That's not my level of knowledge, it is just a suggestion.
I know that in the past we used someting as Swatch.
With a google I found this about:
Swatch

"Swatch is a program which can actively monitor log messages as they are written to file via the UNIX syslog utility. Swatch consists of a configuration file, a library of actions, and the controlling program. It can be configured to watch for user-specified patterns and take action based on the occurrence of those patterns (e.g., send email to an address whenever the system is rebooted). This capability makes Swatch an attractive tool for 24-hour security monitoring."

Later on also its said that throttling can be one order for e-mails.

There seems also a throttle direct in cPanel config for SMTP, POP and others.

Yes, there is a tweak setting, but it isn't per domain, its per server.

This isn't so much a throttle as it is a limit.... I belive.
