Blacklist, because I do not want the authenticated users to send too  
many messages in a particular time. This is ratelimiting, am i wrong?
If you look at my previous message, there are two ratelimit rule in my  
conf. The message will pass if the counter is lower than the limit.  
The point is when a message pass through n amount of ratelimit rule,  
which is matched for all; its counter increases n by n in one greylist  
rule checking process. I think it is clear so far.

In my opinion, every ratelimit rule has its own counter. That's why  
rules can be written from generic to specific.
