From this thread

INSERT INTO throttle (account, kind, priority, period, msg_size, max_msgs, max_quota)
                VALUES ('@.',
                        'external',
                        10,
                        360,
                        10240000,
                        100,
                        4096000000);

I'd like to know if this will also impact emails sent from users who are sending authenticated mail from the same machine.

Re: Throttle on relay with user auth

There're 3 possible values for the "throttle.kind" column:

- inbound: email sent from other mail servers.
- outbound: emails sent by authenticated users.
- external: emails sent from other mail servers.

The difference between "inbound" and "external" is:

- throttle setting with 'kind=inbound' is set based on sender addresses which are your local users.
- 'kind=external' is set based on sender addresses which are NOT your local users.
