RATE_LIMIT_PW

This configuration variable defines the maximum number of new password requests allowed within a set time period to protect against denial-of-service attacks and other abusive behavior. If the rate is exceeded, LISTSERV does not execute the command. The format is: [qty/unit]. The supported units are S (Second), M (Minute), H (Hour) and D (Day). A value of 0 disables the rate-limiting feature.

RATE_LIMIT_PW=5/M

The default value is 10/M (10 per minute).
