As someone who works with a lot of commercial mailers (and commercials MTAs), I
have to agree. The whole commercial sending space is full of admins looking to
do the right thing, they just want to know what the right thing is. Tell them
what to do at the start of the session and they will follow it.

Subject: Re: [ietf-smtp] [Emailcore] Proposed ESMTP keyword RCPTLIMIT
As a commercial MTA and ESP provider, this proposal is very exciting to me.
Today we guess at these things and largely guess at things based off of either
observed behavior or out-of-band discussion with those operating the receiver
side of the email exchange. Having this defined in the session would be great.

MXes which do not announce their limits are going to dominate for some time.
So, I still need to do this for the foreseeable time. So, what does this
SMTP extension buy me? The only thing I can think of: not duplicating
messages when I don't need to.
But the thing is: I don't recall anyone raising this to me, as a problem.
This is not on my radar screen as a problem that wants to be solved.
I wouldn't think that your users would be very interested, but bulk mailers are
desperate for
any hints about how much mail they can stuff at people without getting blocked
or rate limited.
R's,
