Might we want to consider modifying this rule so as to

dozen messages *in a given thread* per day? I agree that, if one is
doing that much shouting about a single topic, it'd probably be
better to give it a rest. :)
That was the initial intention. However it's much harder to do. The
current implementation is a few lines of bash. it does not look at the
content at all, just address and mail-headers as logged by the MTA.
Basically inotifywait mail.log; cut, sort, uniq, wc, test
You're welcome to provide a tool to do a better job. It's probably not
too hard in perl or python, but I did not consider it worth my time.
Before you get down to implement it however, consider volunteering as
list-moderator. I hazard a guess that it is effectively more efficient
to do things manually when it comes to more complex rules.
