// overLimit reports whether the message currently being received should be
// refused under a level-2 differentiated limit (guide § Rate limiting).
//
// When an application has an active limit, it overrides the domain limit for
// that login (the ceiling may be higher or lower than the domain). Otherwise
// the domain ceiling applies when configured; if neither is set, only level 1
// applies.
//
// It is deliberately fail-open: any store error, or the absence of a usable
// limit, is treated as "not over limit" so a malfunction of the level-2
// limiter can never block mail — Postfix's level-1 anvil limit
// (architecture.md § Mail path) remains the backstop, and it does not depend
// on this milter at all. Only a clean count at or above a configured ceiling
// returns true.
//
// A message that passes reserves a slot per applicable limit, released once it
// reaches the send log (or is abandoned) — see inflight for why the stored
// count alone is not enough.
