M, or G to specify limits in kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, respectively.
+The &%per_rcpt%& option causes Exim to limit the rate at which
+recipients are accepted. To be effective, it would need to be used in
+either the &%acl_smtp_rcpt%& or the &%acl_not_smtp%& ACL. In the
+&%acl_smtp_rcpt%& ACL, the number of recipients is incremented by one.
+In the case of a locally submitted message in the &%acl_not_smtp%& ACL,
+the number of recipients incremented is equal to &%$recipients_count%&
+for the entire message. Note that in either case the rate limiting
+engine will see a message with many recipients as a large high-speed
+burst.

The &%per_cmd%& option causes Exim to recompute the rate every time the
-condition is processed. This can be used to limit the SMTP command rate. The
-alias &%per_rcpt%& is provided for use in the RCPT ACL instead of &%per_cmd%&
-to make it clear that the effect is to limit the rate at which recipients are

+This command is essentially an alias of &%per_rcpt%& to make it clear
