NAME

       policyd-rate-limit.yaml - policyd-rate-limit configuration parameters

DESCRIPTION

       policyd-rate-limit(8)  was  using  a  python(1)  style  configuration  file  and not use a
       yaml(3pm) file which  is  reads  on  startup.  .conf  files  are  the  old  python  format
       confguration  files  and  .yaml the new ones. Old style configuration files are deprecated
       and should not be used.

       If the --file option if not set, it searches for  configuration  files  on  the  following
       paths:

          ~/.config/policyd-rate-limit.conf
          ~/.config/policyd-rate-limit.yaml
          /etc/policyd-rate-limit.conf
          /etc/policyd-rate-limit.yaml

       and exits if not found.

SETTINGS

       debug  Make policyd-rate-limit output logs to stderr. The default is True.

       user   The   user   policyd-rate-limit  will  use  to  drop  privileges.  The  default  is
              "policyd-rate-limit".

       group  The  group  policyd-rate-limit  will  use  to  drop  privileges.  The  default   is
              "policyd-rate-limit".

       pidfile
              path   where   the   program  will  try  to  write  its  pid  to.  The  default  is
              "/var/run/policyd-rate-limit/policyd-rate-limit.pid". policyd-rate-limit  will  try
              to create the parent directory and chown it if it do not exists.

       mysql_config
              The  configuration  to  connect  to  a  mysql  server. It should be a dictionary of
              parameters to  give  to  the  MySQLdb.connect  function.  See  the  python3-mysqldb
              documentations.

       pgsql_config
              The  configuration  to connect to a postgresql server. It should be a dictionary of
              parameters to give to  the  psycopg2.connect  function.  See  the  python3-psycopg2
              documentations.

       sqlite_config
              The  configuration  to  connect to a sqlite3 database. It should be a dictionary of
              parameters to give to the sqlite3.connect function. See the python3 documentations.

       backend
              Which data backend to use. Possible values are 0 for sqlite3, 1 for mysql and 2 for
              postgresql.  The default is 0, use the sqlite3 backend.

       SOCKET The  socket to bind to. Can be a path to an unix socket or a couple [ip, port]. The
              default is "/var/spool/postfix/ratelimit/policy". policyd-rate-limit  will  try  to
              create the parent directory and chown it if it do not exists.

       socket_permission
              Permissions on the unix socket (if unix socket used). The default is 0o666.

       limits A  list  of  couple [number of emails, number of seconds]. If one of the element of
              the list is exceeded (more than 'number of emails' on 'number of seconds' for an ip
              address or an sasl username), postfix will return a temporary failure.

       limits_by_id
              A  dictionnary  of  id  -> limit list (see limits). Used to override limits and use
              custom limits for a particular id. Use an empty list for no limits for a particular
              id. Ids are sasl usernames or ip addresses. The default is {}.

       limit_by_sasl
              Apply limits by sasl usernames. The default is True.

       limit_by_ip
              Apply limits by ip addresses if sasl username is not found. The default is False.

       limited_networks
              A  list  of ip networks in cidr notation on which limits are applied. An empty list
              is equal to limit_by_ip = False, put "0.0.0.0/0" and ::/0 for every ip addresses.

       success_action
              If no limits are reach, which action postfix should do. The default is "dunno". See
              access(5) for possible actions.

       fail_action
              If   a   limit   is  reach,  which  action  postfix  should  do.   The  default  is
              "defer_if_permit Rate limit  reach,  retry  later".   See  access(5)  for  possible
              actions.

       db_error_action
              If  we  are  unable to to contect the database backend, which action postfix should
              do.  The default is "dunno".  See access(5) for possible actions.

       config_file
              This parameter is automatically set to the path of the configuration file currently
              in  use.   You  can  call  it  in  conjunction  with  --get-config  to  known which
              configuration file is used.

              From who to send emails reports. It must be defined when report is True.

       report_to
              Address to send emails reports to. It must be defined when report is True.

       report_subject
              Subject of the report email. The default is "policyd-rate-limit report".

       report_limits
              List  of  number of seconds from the limits list for which you want to be reported.
              The default is [86400].

       report_only_if_needed
              Only send a report if some users have reach a reported limit. The default is True.
