Mail::MtPolicyd::Plugin::Quota - mtpolicyd plugin for accounting in sql tables

version 2.05

This plugin can be used to do accounting based on request fields.

  <Plugin quota-clients>
    module = "Quota"
    table_prefix = "acct_"
    # per month
    time_pattern = "%Y-%m"
    # per ip
    field = "client_address"
    # allow 1000 mails
    metric = "count"
    threshold = 1000
    action = "defer you exceeded your monthly limit, please insert coin"
  </Plugin>

The module takes the following parameters:

(uc_)enabled (default: on)
Enable/disable this check.
(uc_)field (required)
The field used for accounting/quota.
(uc_)metric (required)
The metric on which the quota should be based.

The Accounting module stores the following metrics:

Number of mails recivied.
Number of mails recivied multiplied with number of recipients.
Size of mails recivied.
Size of mails recivied multiplied with number of recipients.
A format string for building the time key used to store counters.

Default is to build counters on a monthly base.

For example use:

  * "%Y-%W" for weekly
  * "%Y-%m-%d" for daily

See "man date" for format string sequences.

You must use the same time_pattern as used in for the Accounting module.

The quota limit.
The action to return when the quota limit has been reached.
A prefix to add to every table.

The table name will be the prefix + field_name.
