In it's simplest form, it would just be a permission that could be given per role (easy). An advanced form could allow per role limits and periods (more complex).

I am also interested in this feature. I would like the admin role to be able to send as many messages as they please, but limit the number other roles could send.

I'll take a look and try to implement this.

Here's a patch to bypass the module via a permission:
