I do not believe this is currently possible with vanilla Sympa.

You can set some limits on a global basis, but it sounds like you want to
limit the rate by list or by subscriber+list.

There should be a way to achieve this by creating a custom scenario plugin
for the send scenario, that records messages and returns a fail if the rate
is too high.  It would need to have a table in the database for
subscriber/list/count/interval.   You would then activate it by adding a
line in the list send scenario like :

CustomCondition::rate_limit([listname],[sender],10)      smtp,smime,md5
reject(tt2="rate_limit.tt2")

 I've contemplated this before, but not actually written it as yet.  It
should be fairly easy to do, so if I get the opportunity I might put
something together and post here.
