A little surveying might be in order.

I see that Postfix lets you set both the numerator and denominator of the 
rate limit, but the denominator defaults to a minute.  It has separate 
rate limits for connections and messages.

Exim also lets you set both, the examples use an hour.  The documentation 
says that if you use a large interval that lets people send bursts.
