This is what I did, I just use a cron job to reset the wholog at whatever interval I want. It limits a user to three posts (ends up 6 per day). I put it in rc.local.s10 in both the list and digest. The first line checks to make sure they aren't counted twice (once for the list and twice for the digest or vise-versa).
Thank you for your recipe. I wrote something which is better suited for me because I need a limit configurable for a certain member. You gave me some good hints which I incorporated.
I am using a recipe and a shell script which enables me to set monthly or daily quota limits for a set of list members. It's possible to set the quota different for each user. If the quota limit is reached the subscriber gets a message indicating the current limit in the subject. A cronjob for housekeeping isn't necessary.
I attached the recipe and the shell script.
