I don't think any other IMAP server has this "problem".

However - it isn't a problem. I think Sam hit gold with his couriertcpd -
the per-IP/subnet connection limiting is brill. Just Do It :-)

Either up that limit (you can make it 10000000000 to mimic other servers if
you wish), or alter the clients.

Reality is, other products will have to support this feature themselves Real
Soon Now - DoS attacks aren't going away, and this feature can really help -
I've personally used it to stop resource exhaustion from a known bad client.
