[rt-users] can't stop creating new tickets!

[Forrest Aldrich]

Sendmail does NOT have a mechanism to throttle email connection.  No MTA 
that I've seen has this.  Kai's Spamshield hack will drop a dead route in 
for someone who is sending greater than X (defined number) of messages, 
based upon watching the syslog (but there are inherent problems with this, 
such as forged syslog messages etc).

I would think that something of this nature would be appropriate in a 
ticket-by-email system.
