do you allow thousands of connections to the pop3d? what about tcpserver's
-c option? that's your throttle.
if someone is needlessly filling up pop3 connections, and blocking other
users, isn't that more a terms of service issue? in some cases, that's
network abuse, and grounds for termination.
you can always block the offender with a tcpserver rule, right?
