Oh yes :) That would definetly be useful. I work for an ISP for which
a robust policy daemon would make us admins giggle like school girls.
Well, more then usual.

A suggestion, which is self serving, but I'm sure someone else could
benefit from it, is the ability to define rates of mail traffic and
then have a possible trigger action occur. For example, if domaina.com
sends 10,000 emails per hour exec "command X".

Thanks!
