How are emails blocked by rate limiting reflected in the logs?
Rate limiting is used to define the maximum number of recipients per hour you are willing to receive from a
remote host. When you have configured rate limiting on a listener or mail flow policy, your mail_logs log file
will contain an entry stating "Rejected By Receiving Control" for each message attempt after the limit is
exceeded. The following excerpt shows the format of a mail_logs log entry documenting a message that was
blocked by rate limiting.
