Getting users to change their behaviour is another story altogether,
of course :-)
In addition to architectural considerations, you might want to try the
HAPPYMAIL patch I developed to address the problem of changing user
behavior.
http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/sw/qpopper/index.html
To summarize: It rate limits the permitted popping attempts as a
linear function of mailbox size with an initial amount of space for
free, and a minimum time interval between requests.
This page and the software are a bit out of date, as we no longer use
Qpopper in production, but I don't anticipate that adapting the patch to
current Qpopper code would be all that hard. I'd be glad to answer any
questions you have.
Has anyone on the list done that already?
This looks like exactly what I need. Thank you.
Hugh
