I have never used the ratelimit module.  Having a quick read of the docs 
though, that looks to be valid config and (I think!) should work. The 
only thing I can suggest is that in the docs the user ratelimit says 
"user: limit per authenticated user (useful for outbound limits)"

Are you using SASL authentication to send the messages?  Maybe if it 
can't figure out who the authenticated user is it doesn't attempt to 
limit them.   But otherwise if that's not the case, I'm sorry I can't 
offer any more assistance. Good luck!

Kind Regards,
