Hi,

I was wondering if anybody on this list has a solution to enforce a minimum
delay a user has to wait for polling his pop3 box. A lot of users on my
POP3-Server are polling it every 30secs while being online 24/7. This
produces unnecassary load on the pop3 machine.

Does anybody have scripts/a patch to make qpop3d print an error message and
deny the pop3-access for a certain time (like 1minute) if the user is
"hammering" the pop3 Server ? I think this could be implemented just like a
smtp-after-pop3 solution with the only difference that it is "the other way
round" (you lock out users for a certain time window instead of giving them
access to a service for a certain time).

Thanks in advance,

Jochen
