    If you use Linux you can use netfilter (iptables) mark feature to

can shape the bandwitdh based on those iptables mark. For example, if an

that ip would be limited to 100 KB/sec (or whatever number). First 100
megabytes, top speed, above that they get slower.
dont think this will work
tons of cons can come from a nat ip
so you would punish everyone behind that ip ,not only apple mail

Not true. You set a connection tracking using ip+port, not only IP.


i see no real solution for the problem, cause if the server works out
some slow down this would only lead to longer download times, but will
no solve the orig wanted task. It will all be workarounds for a "buggy"
client


    Original post talked about "unbearable server load". Shapping network traffic will definitely help with that.
