hi,

thanks for all your opinions and suggestions, i'll have a look at all of them to see if i can implement a restricted system for mail() functions.

I'll report back in a few days to let you know if i've come up with something that really works.

Thanks for all.

 I'm aware of several configuration directives that limit rate, none of
 which directly limit the send rate local users.  Perhaps some kludgly
 or elusive trick involving multiple options would do the trick; I
 don't claim to be a postfix expert.  Perhaps, instead of making empty
 statements, you might choose to enlighten me as per the exact
 configuration that will accomplish this.

 Of course, I spent some time googling, but it appears that not too
 many people know (or at least write about) how to implement such
 functionality.

Not being a sysadmin I can't tell you HOW to do it, but I can tell you
that nearly every shared-hosting service I have worked with implements
some level of throttling such that an account on that machine cannot
send more than some set number of messages per hour whether directly
through local SMTP or through sendmail, mail(), etc., so I know it CAN
be done, and it appears that more than a few people know how to do it.
