Ten requests in a minute should definitely be enough - as long as it isn't counting assets, only main page access My only currently running Dada instance is 5 1 1 and it looks like that does load the assets through the cgi
No, no assets, Dada Mail hasn't served its own images, etc in quite a few versions now ;)
What it does count is specific functions, so requesting a subscription through the subscription form would be a specific function that could be counted, but viewing the membership screen in the list control panel would not
That means, you won't be kicked out of the list control panel, just by using it with heavy hands But trying to submit the subscription form 1,000 times in a second would not work after the (say) 10th time This is great, as people are expressing their concerns over bots filling out the subscription form with bogus addresses, and those addresses bouncing back Third party email services like SES are counting this against their own users because of the policies on bounce rates In the dev version I'm working on, I've basically rate limited every public form accessible without a session login (and some that do), so: subscriptions, confirmations, forward to a friend form, the various profile functions, logging into the list control panel, etc
