Presumably as an anti-DoS service. It is not an anti-spam feature,
and should not be used that way. The anti-DoS use-case is to prevent
(usually accidental) abuse from one or a small-number of "run-away"
clients that are hammering you with email, volume limits should
be noticeably above your normal peak loads.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
