Maybe there is a firewall kind of app that can be used to monitor
connections and block an IP if the connection rate is too high or
something? I know there are anti-DOS apps that can do similar things, so
maybe one of them is tunable for this purpose.

While it's definitely annoying, that's one thing I love about dbmail: It's
an indexed SQL lookup, rather than a mbox-style
trudge-through-a-10Mb-file-to-fine-there-is-no-new-mail approach.
With enough memory, and especially with the MySQL 4.0 query-cache; it barely
causes a performance hit.

In there kernel there is some network scheduler stuff you should look into.
Then go get shaper and set up according to your needs.

You should get them to switch to consistent imap. At least then they wouldn't
be downloading all of their mail at one time.

I find in our installation that the POP3 method works better, because once
they initially download their mall the POP3 client is asking is 'is there
