About:
DynamicRelay prevents your customers from sending spam, and authenticates users using POP or IMAP to send email in a pop-before-smtp fashion. You can use it with the wu-imap, dovecot, Courier, and Qpopper IMAP/POP servers, and with Postfix or Sendmail. You set the limit to the number of email messages a user can send per day. This is useful when you have users infected by viruses that send thousands and thousands of spam messages, or who send spam deliberately. You can also control how long users are allowed to send email after their last POP or IMAP authentication. Abuses are logged and emailed to you, and you can put your own static entries in the access file.

[»] Free speech tool
by geeklawyer - Apr 18th 2003 14:11:46

Ive often thought what a good tool something like this would be for free speech. Some geek like John Gilmore or RMS (not sure who) has in the past whinged about being blackholed for running an open relay but he refuses to close it saying that people need it in order to be able to make anonymous commentary etc.

This would seem a good way of getting both: free speech but, with appropriate useage controls, limited risk of abuse by scummy spammers: e.g. anonymous users get 10 emails a day each or 1000 a day for all anonymous users.

With some development perhaps this project could be made to work like that.
