How about a field that limits the number of messages sent through the list
per day?
Could be just like the config file keeps track of the digest numbers.
You'd need three fields, from what I can see. One keeps the current
number, one keeps the max number, one keeps the date of the last message
sent.
Whenever a message gets sent through and passes through all the
Approve stages, it'd read the date of the last message sent. If it's not
the same date, it resets the counter to 1 (since this message is the first
to get sent through). If it's not the first, it then reads the max and
current and compares. If current ge (>=) max then reject the message. If
not then let it go through and increase the current by one.
