Post-login scripting

[Gedalya]

Aha. Looks pretty cool, and it's really nice that it supports HTTP.
On the other hand if I'm rate limiting the number of messages sent = number of times a client said RCPT TO, I guess it still has to be a postfix policy server?
Anyway, thanks for pointing this out, I'm sure I'll use it :-)
