Well, the other side knows about its capability to accept additional
connections. We don't. Basic self-protection, from both enthusiastic
mail-movers like qmail *and* deliberate DoS attacks, would call for
not accepting connections you can't handle. Rate-limiting should be
applied by the side that has the information to do it right.
